PIs Parasitize Their Underlings
I don't like the idea that if you are very good, you get parasitized until it's your turn to parasitize others. That doesn't make sense to me. My work generally takes evidence accumulated by others and places it together in order to generate hypotheses. And I am not sure that that is best done with narrow publications that are read by few. Richard Dawkins has almost no publication record in the sense of peer-reviewed papers in journals. What he's done instead is done synthetic work and he's published it in books which are not peer-reviewed in the same sense.
