My niece left academia for Draper Labs, where she has had a very productive career. Done far more for society than she would have, at a school. Instead of struggling for grants for her basic and applied research, often finding herself unfunded for a term or year unexpectedly, she's funded liberally and makes quick progress on important issues. Never looked back.

- inglor_cz 4y agoAltos Labs, the billionaires' longevity moonshot, seems to be able to recruit from the academia very efficiently with three promises: good money, no unnecessary paperwork and the ability to choose your research topics freely, without a "publish or perish" sword of Damocles hanging over your head.
