Credit is infinitely divisible in academia: the more authors on a paper, the merrier. Middle authors contribute so much and share in the credit, while that doesn’t take away any of the credit from the lead contributors.

It is not the dissertation, tenure or retirement, but finding a good collaborator which is truly the important event in your career.

Dear Science*,
If you wanted me to read all your papers, you should have published fewer papers.
Please do better (worse) in 2025.
Sincerely, thank you.

You have to believe you can write a manuscript in a week, so that it will end up only taking three months.

The fallacy of the experts is that everything seems obvious to them, and so they cannot see what a new idea could develop to, because they know too much about the field.

"don't worry guys I won't talk about Stalin"
(me, after two beers)
When the Germans tried to get Stalin to deal to release his son from a POW camp he respond thus:
"You have in your hands not only my son Yakov, but millions of my sons. Either you free them all or my son will share their fate."

People who say philosophy is useless usually still want to do philosophy, they just don't want to read books or have their ideas critiqued by people who have read books.

Would you prefer to lead a lab alone or together with a science buddy? How interesting would be a research institute where joint labs are the standard?!

What would Plato say about systems biology? In his Allegory of the Cave, prisoners can only see shadows on a wall and so they have a distorted reality. Also our measurements of genes, RNAs, proteins & metabolites are the shadows, not the reality of the complex biological systems.
