    The biggest factor for success as an acad scientist is achieving product-market fit early in your career to gain a leg up on peers for profile, grants and recruiting best people to max your productivity per unit time, which makes it easier to further max product-market fit...https://twitter.com/_stah/status/1088742121409007616 …

    The number one variable in bring a good parent is time. A major variable in being a great scientist is time. It is not impossible to do both, but in my experience VERY rare.

        This bias some people have about success in science vs success as a parent being an either-or proposition is ludicrous. Either you capture an early advantage in the scientific market and all the value accrues to your brand, or you don't. Kids have nothing to do with it.

        I know lots of brilliant, hard-working, creative people who failed to get that product-market fit as a postdoc and left academia. Some had kids, some didn't. Many of the ones with kids still worked nights and weekends. It's irrelevant to success.

        The failure mode of academic science is that it actively punishes the careers of really smart people who fail to achieve product-market fit on the prescribed schedule (i.e. by end of first postdoc). Lots of great potential PIs wash out for this reason.
