A thought-provoking analysis of the common economic traits amongst nobel laureates. This is why it's so important to perform science outreach efforts to provide educational opportunities for those without wealthy and well-educated families.
What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too? And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates. A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N

hot take but when I was an academic my burnout happened not because I was working X hours a week but because I was working X hours a week and feeling like there was absolutely zero reward

As a PhD student, all I focused on was getting a PhD. As a PhD supervisor, I focus on training students on the long-term process that leads to getting a PhD. Here's some examples🧵
