Been thinking a bit about publication strategies. Many people try to hold off on papers, to publish "complete stories" for maximum impact / glam. I think this is potentially really harmful to science.

maybe a silly take? i think PDs/GSs should get paid more and yes this is a burden on PIs/labs/depts and yes there will be fewer positions and yes labs may close, but maybe this is a good thing all around?

"genetics was barely a field in the 70s"
10/OK, so let's talk about scientific progress.
