Strange dream....

I had a strange dream just now. Stephen fry was on the beach sitting on a deck chair telling me how he is not taken seriously as an intellectual because of the overspecialisation in the sciences, and when he reads papers you need to have an advanced statistics background in order to have any grasp of the papers, and one paper he did try talking about ended up being retracted and the academic community have a herd mentality.

Funny enough I woke up to a podcast playing on this very same issue.

 

On with my day
