“Alas, they have to think of their contract…”
“And there is a third domain that we have not touched on – teaching! Unfortunately, it carries very little weight in the equation.”
“My worry is, quite a few budding academics are interested in too many things.” WS sighed, “They start one project after another, without being able to complete with any.”
“Very true. When it comes to medical research, it is more a test of self discipline than talent. You don’t really have to be innovative. All you need is organization and being able to execute the project.”
Alas, it also applies to many other aspects of our life.
