The Nobel Prize is given as a personal award but it also honors the field of research in which I have worked and it also honors my students and colleagues.
I suppose I'm worried that someday there will be some exciting experiments to do, and there won't be anyone around who knows what experiments are.
The Pew Biomedical Scholars are a synergistic community whose connections are reinforced over the years.
We should not silence our nation's researchers.
Usually, if you have a new idea, you very rarely break through to anything like recognizable development or implementation of that idea the first time around - it takes two or three goes for the research community to return to the topic.
The research side of academic life is often viewed from the outside as a solo and, at times, lonely activity. In fact, it is quite the opposite: a communal activity in significant part where interaction and interchange generate ideas and critiques of them.
'The Anthill' is the podcast wing of The Conversation, the site that presents news and views derived from the academic and research community.
Sci-Hub arose as a tool to be used in a Russian-speaking online research community.
There isn't a scientific community. It is a culture. It is a very undisciplined organization.
Research students are numbered in the hundreds of thousands-soon to be millions -and they are no longer distributed superficially and at random over the globe, but are functionally linked together in a vast organic system that will remain in the future indispensable to the life of the community.
I think that all research scientists think of themselves as belonging to a grand tradition, building on work that has been worked on since the very beginning of science itself. Whereas I'm not sure writers think of themselves in the same way.
It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him.
Science is, on the whole, an informal activity, a life of shirt sleeves and coffee served in beakers.
Science is an essentially anarchic enterprise.
I want to leverage the creativity of researchers across mathematics, statistics, data mining, computer science, biology, medicine, and the public at large.
