A 2017 Nobel laureate says he left science because he ran out of money
"He also said that these stars [that “have not really earned their status”] have boasted to him that they almost never send their articles to “anywhere but Nature, Cell, or Science“—among the three most prestigious science journals. “And they are nearly always published in one of those magazines—where, when you see something you know about, you realize that it’s not always so great,” he continued."I subscribed to Science for a while (the only benefit I can see of AAAS membership), and I was surprised by the work published there. I'm a computer jockey, and not into the biology that Science mostly publishes, but I had expected it to be major, ground-breaking papers. Instead, it seemed like the same kind of minimum publishable unit that goes on everywhere.
