How might one start an academic institution? Could it be a start-up pitch? Something needs to change. The smartest scientists in the world shouldn’t be leaving academia in droves. We need a route in academia that doesn’t force endless meaningless publications & “mainstream” research. We need a route that actually pursues innovation and discovery. I’d call it “The Science or Perish Institute.”
At least these are my 7am pre-coffee thoughts. Have any VCs hit Mastodon yet?
