想考博者或想入科研行当者引以为戒

植物免疫方面的大牛，美国科学院院士Jeffery L. Dangl谈到，“在研究中你输的比赢的多。实验并不经常能产生预期结果，项目申请一败涂地，论文被拒，而且通常还有比你更聪明和更努力的人（跟你竞争）。”（ “You lose a lot more than you win in research,” says Dangl. “Experiments don’t work often, projects crash and burn, papers get rejected, and there is usually someone out there smarter and working harder than you.”）

就是这位Jeffery L. Dangl，他当年在stanford university（斯坦福大学）兴趣不只是科学，他修了生物学和现代文学的双学位（Science was not Dangl’s only interest. He double-majored in biology and modern literature.）。
