Or as John Venn said somewhat earlier: "No science can safely be abandoned entirely to its own devotees."

This immediately brings to mind: statistics, economics and machine learning but, given the professional-personal sensitivities involved, it is risky business to bring anything to mind. So lets just quote Venn (1834-1923), as if it does not pertain to modern sciences.

It is indeed a good quote. I think I would boringly modify it by saying that it is desirable that at least *some* people do their major research on subjects in which they have not taken their degree -- there are some great examples -- but we need the more standard path too!

We need indeed the more standard paths, but I would not worry about depleting their rank; the incentives to remain within the bubble far exceed those given to the cross-field explorers.

I think it crossed your desk from https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/38/5/1169/667340 … Used there with respect to the brilliant statistician Jerome Cornfield, who’s only formal qualification was in history, and who spoke unequivocally about what statistics allow you to say about causality >60 years ago

Indeed, Haldane's quote crossed my desk from your inspiring tribute to Jerome Cornfield, concluding: "Perhaps one of the advantages that Cornfield had was his lack of any sustained formal training in either epidemiology or biostatistics". Lesson: To impact stat. - study history.

How do we apply this to post-doctoral or junior faculty education?
