“If you come forward with something that is not connected to the current reality, people don’t know what to do with it. What many academics do is to spend the next 5-10 yrs putting the connections in place to make what’s being proposed a natural extension of what existed before.” https://twitter.com/ceptional/status/1349442403158036481
Founder of Moderna explains that it's fortunate they weren't in academia - they would have had a tough time publishing their discoveries, due to skepticism by journal editors and reviewers. https://conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/noubar-afeyan/
when one is deep into a fine grained debate on the *accuracy* of a facial recognition system in recognizing, say, India vs Nepalese faces, they have already lost the ground — they proceed from the fallacious premise that race/ethnicity can be read off of faces.

I hate that having publications is the new norm for post-baccs or undergrads applying to PhD programs in psych. It’s not fair. People don’t have equal access to these opportunities and there is a contingency on lab culture.
