Funny enough, the way Germany’s Max-Planck Society is successful in hiring top US scientists not through outrageous salaries, but by offering them guaranteed, generous research budget in perpetuity.
Not all researchers care about getting rich personally.

- periheli0n 6y agoNo need to get personal. All I’m saying is that research success is not well measured by the amount of money it reels in. That doesn’t mean scientists should not make money. It just means the one has little to do with the other. Orthogonal. I know excellent scientists who are rich and equally excellent ones who are poor. I also know some intellectually less well endowed folks who are crazy rich. Money and research success have little to do with each other. All I’m saying.
