  1. ​​ @Allyballybean  groundbreaking discoveries can't happen all the time in the established field. That is just a fact. Regular, not groundbreaking research is just as good of a "return" as groundbreaking one. So the returns aren't really diminishing. And nothing can grow in accelerated way forever, nothing can develop faster and faster in real world forever. Science and technology is no exception

  2. How? Because regular research in an establish field is just as important as groundbreaking research when the field is being established. Sorry, you will not continue getting groundbreaking stuff forever. When all the basics are known already, the details still should be clarified.

  3. It is a society in general and pervasive gender roles which make it hard for women to have kids (family =/= kids, family can be without kids, don't use those words interchangeably) and career in science. Because society expects a woman to be a primary caregiver just because she is a woman, her own family expects that etc. Men can see their kids 2 hours a day and barely care for them and still be considered a good father. So they can spend 10 hours a day working in a lab and everyone will see it as fine. Women are criticised if they don't sacrifice absolutely everything for the kids and often even if they do. It is the double standards for men and women which create this difficulty.

  4. ​ @MadsterV  who said? You? You think it should be much more in a way that you want?

  5. How do you determine there were no breakthroughs in epigenetics and proteomics? From a layman's perspective?

  6. So how many weeks of vacation do researchers in Germany get? In my country in many spheres people have only 2-3 week vacation. But I being a researcher even without PhD, on a bare minimum level, working part time immediately got 4 weeks even when I had no experience. With PhD ppl get 6 weeks. The salary is very small though
