"Great science happens in great teams". True! but evaluation & recognition still done individually. Papers written equally by all authors are rare, only leader author takes a big chunk of the work. Whatever ideas this committee will come out shouldn't be more work load for scientists. 🧪 #AcademicSky
Great science happens in great teams — research assessments must try to capture that
Europe must reform the ways in which science is evaluated. To boost innovation, it must improve research culture.

Just how bad will climate change get? The only way to know is to fund basic research
Predictions of global warming are uncertain. That’s why we need to keep finding out how the climate system works.
