Covid really pushed my mental state into “why bother” and I realised how easily I can spiral out of control into doom scrolling and gaming. Loss of structure can be devastating to productive habits.

Jeffrey Hall was essentially forced into early retirement due to lack of funding before he won nobel prize. He’s still retired I think, never went back into science.

Crazy that it has only been cited about 2000 times over 20 years. Surprising given its impact. This is an example where even citations fail to recognise significant papers. The Doudna Charpentier paper, by contrast, has been cited 17k times

Much deserved and really inspirational story. I wonder if she would have survived today’s even more competitive academic environment. If not then we must wonder how many future Karikos have been silenced by our current academic system.

I would love to buy a nice bike, but I can’t fork out any more than $200 for something that I know will be stolen almost surely with probability 1 as time goes on. The solution for rampant petty crime should be to increase its penalty. Make

> A lot of work, maybe more than any creative work, requires long breaks for the best output to be created. There are many counter examples against this statement. Stephen King writes every day with no breaks, not even on Sundays.

Because it’s not the average work ethic that matters, it’s best output of the very few. It’s often a few very ambitious and very hard working people who drive big changes in the economy. Ideally these changes create a new industry and suck

People also used to get tapeworms and other parasites from eating bad meat very frequently. Just because people ate it back then doesn’t mean it’s okay to eat it now. Being free of parasites now is expected but was not back then.
