Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org âš6â© âšmonthsâ© agoI find it especially amusing that in my Lemmy feed the post right before this one is a quote from a book by a Nobel laureate talking about the importance of self-marketing, politicking and ladder climbing in academia. You know, all the stuff that isnât science that plays a part in what Yann LeCun considers to play a vital role in what counts as science.

ladder climbing in academia is not fun, but I feel like communicating science is a essential part of scientific process, as this is the only way for our work to maximize their impact.
A famous professor in my field once told me âwe are all entertainersâ, which seems absurd from an outside prospective, but is a notion that I and many of my colleague has taken peace with.
scrambled and unreadable mathematics in the end should seldom be valued in modern science community, IMO, not everyone is Srinivasa Ramanujan. Even among geniuses, from Poincaré to Hilbert to Godel to Grothendick and to Tao, most genius are able to communicate their research quite well, and thrive in academia.
