Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

After the medicine Nobel was given to Victor Ambros but not his wife (and 1st author on their landmark paper) Rosalind Lee, I got curious about what their story has to teach us about incentive structures in science. The reality is at once messier and more profound:

Big news. Dr. Druker literally tranformed care for chronic myelogenous leukemia.
