Preferable to think "what do I want to know?" BEFORE thinking about how to study it. It's harder/slower science. You can't crank the handle and turn out the papers. But I think it's more informative for the field

Many scientists don't just stick to a single field but essentially to a single *study*, which they repeat with variants for an entire career People tend to think "If I tweaked this method (that I already understand) what would it tell us?" ie. Chose the method 1st and then worked out the question!

I wrote a book! It reflects my personal journey to understand: What will it take to develop new treatments for brain and mental disorders? Starting with "understanding" the brain - what do we most need to know? And what's our collective Grand Plan to know it? press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Word of the day is ‘catchfart’, from the 17th century, used of a servant who followed their master or mistress a little too closely. In today’s terms, a catchfart is someone who fawns upon the boss or who follows the political wind.
