Although outraged as everyone by the career path Katalin #Karikó has had to take, I feel that the idea that early papers should have been in #Nature is in a way sticking to a known fallacy, an expectation that this system of supposed detection of impactful #research years in advance could work.

What we have is rather a proof that it doesn't and can't work, and that basing the hiring/tenure/grant decisions on these HI journal decisions is plain stupid.

every woman in academia needs to stop and read this 2021 profile of Katalin Karikó. it’s enraging and inspiring all at once.

not Zuckerberg.

not 99.99% of the Silicon Valley conartists calling themselves geniuses.

no.

it’s this middle-aged mother who works at a lab.
