世界级科研需要连续的大段时间

要点：

1、Without large continuous blocks of time, it isn’t possible to thoroughly engage with a subject. Emerging ideas are fragile; each disruption is like a gust of wind knocking over a house of cards.

2、But the depth of understanding and the quality of the work achieved would be much greater if I could concentrate that time in one week, working on nothing but that topic. Lots of small pieces do not have the same value as a large block.

3、But every interruption takes a chunk out of that surface, and in the end all we’re left with is scraps with which to try and cobble together something meaningful.

4、If university administrators want us to conduct world-class research, then they need to make time for it and preserving the summer for research is key.

World-class research takes time: give us back our summers
