Yeah. Yeah, why would they do that? Why would they give any money to anybody? That's not what they're going to do. They're going to take it to, as Maxwell's about to do, buy a palace. And again, he's not as bad as the guys who replace him, right? Because he does, ultimately, he makes a lot of times, he will make decisions that cost him money because a scientist says it's the right thing to do.

And he does ultimately side with his scientists. Yeah. Und er kann das tun, weil es so viel Flex gibt. Es gibt so viel Extra-Profit. Er kann es erlauben, aber die Leute, die ihn ersetzen, werden nicht mehr so wenig Schmerzen haben. Sie werden sich einfach nicht mehr aufhören. Und das wird die Zeitlinie dieser Episoden ein bisschen zerstören.

Aber um zu sprechen, wo es heute mit wissenschaftlichem Publizieren ist, möchte ich einmal mehr von einem anderen Guardian-Artikel zitieren. The publishing business is perverse and needless, the Berkeley biologist Michael Eisen wrote in a 2003 article for The Guardian, declaring that it should be a public scandal.

Adrian Sutton, a physicist at Imperial College, told me that scientists are all slaves to publishers. What other industry receives its raw materials from its customers, gets those same customers to carry out the quality control on those materials, and then sells the same materials back to the customers at a vastly inflated price?

Today every scientist knows that their career depends on being published and professional success is especially determined by getting work into the most prestigious journals. The long, slow, nearly directionless work pursued by some of the most influential scientists of the 20th century is no longer a viable career option.

Under today's system, the father of genetic sequencing, Fred Sanger, who published very little in the two decades between his 1958 and 1980 Nobel Prizes, may well have found himself out of a job.
