@Rainmaker1973 I'd add that the inventors of insulin didn't get along. Banting and Collip got into a severe shouting match once. Nowadays one could get fired for this or prevented from receiving prizes.

Our paper on the history of Ceres' cold traps has now been downloaded 1000 times. I suppose that means 10 people read it.

@niamhtumelty @olivier_pourret I pay my publication charges from my grants, as do most scientists I know. And I intentionally choose to publish in the less expensive journals (like IOP ~$2k/paper versus Wiley or Elsevier ~$4k/paper).
