Hi everyone. I wanted to post this interesting essay by Donald and Stuart Geman on Science in the Age of Selfies.
http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~aldous/Blog/PNAS-2016-Geman.pdf
The essay raises some interesting questions on the scientific enterprise in the age of online communication and great competitive pressure to produce "results" via publication, and on whether great scientific advances are possible (and possible steps that can be taken to foster a healthier environment for scientific research).
Worth a read.
