good cop, bad cop

A great article. Not only a keen eye for what's wrong in with the current funding and career system but also some pointed suggestions of what should be done about it. Now, for the hardest part... actually doing something about it, especially for scientists who are notoriously bad about lobbying for their interests.

No competing interests declared.
