  1.  @benkleschinsky  When I first went to university and studied physics, in the early 1970s, I started working in the High Energy Physics Department. There was a professor who was a great researcher. Working with her one on one I learned a lot. On the other hand, she was not a great classroom teacher. When she taught a required physics class, the enrollment was low. I really loved and respected her, but this is a symptom of our system. We require, in most settings, that researchers teach. This does not always work out. The advent of on-line resources, such as these MIT courses is, I think, the future of education and research. We should have lots more research institutes and a mostly on-line teaching regime. Then, the best teachers, who might also be good researchers, would do the teaching, and the researchers could concentrate on that.
