I've learned to be skeptical (to the point of total dismissal) of anything self-named by its inventor. If it's truly notable, others will name it.

- lifeisstillgood 6y agoVery good point - this sadly ties in with the rest of the self-consciously heavily marketed and branded project. On the other hand, we should just double the science budget globally every five years and perhaps people would worry less about cashflow and focus on what got them into science in the first place.
