“No one ever changed the world by what everyone else was doing”
Mark Cuban, American billionaire entrepreneur

Even God wouldn’t get a grant today because somebody on the committee would say, oh those were very interesting experiments (creating the universe), but they’ve never been repeated. And then someone else would say, yes and he did it a long time ago, what’s he done recently? And a third would say, to top it all, he published it all in an un-refereed journal (The Bible)
Sydney Brenner, Nobel Laureate
