How science works according to Nobel Prize winner Thomas Südhof: Very often, politicians think that you can tell scientists what they’re supposed to discover. You can’t! Scientists don’t know what they are going to discover. They have to try things. They have to have curiosity and ideas, but they also have to have the knowledge to try things. Very often, it leads to nothing; it’s a waste. But we didn’t know when we started it’s a waste. But when something does work. When something clicks, it is exciting and rewarding but it’s never just one click. You get a result on it, you’re hopeful, you build on it. Maybe it’s confirmed you’re even more hopeful. So it’s an incremental process. It is never one thing - boom we discovered a major thing, my god this is it. It is more like walking up a flight of stairs where each step counts and the higher up the stairs you go the better you can see what’s on top and become excited about what’s there and how you can use.

Maybe creativity is just how big a bag of tricks you have; how many different tricks you've seen, applied in different contexts. And perhaps some people have a little bit more skill remembering all those tricks or applying them in different situations. - Arjun Raj, Arjun Raj

😯 François Jacob (co-discoverer of gene regulation) asked by Lucy Shapiro (Stanford): "It's always been hypothesis-driven research [..] but a new way is looking at vast amounts of data and not asking a question, just seeing if it give you a pattern." Jacob: "It’s very boring.."

Scientists on moving past being stuck: "Basically I'm just a lazy son of a bi*ch" – they would play music or paint and at some point that would free their mind up enough that they'd get past their block and then come back to the problem. – Robert Root-Bernstein on the Night Science Podcast Apple: Spotify:

😯Sydney Brenner (Nobel Prize winner) was not a fan of Systems Biology. Systems Biology: To study a drum in the next room, record the sounds and reconstruct the physical properties of the drum. Experimental science: Get in, get hold of the drum, get its structure and play it.

It's sad to wake up to the news that the legendary Craig Venter died yesterday. Here's Stephen Quake talking about his contributions to the Genomics revolution which didn't actually come from within the Genetics community. Craig came in from Pharmacology and (together with Lander) said that genomes don't have to be perfect; drafts are useful.

Many people are busy doing recipe science.. If you ask a grad student what they need to do to get a paper, they'll tell you this & this, & they'll know that 2 years before the project is done. And I'm thinking, what's wrong with this picture? Eve Marder, on Night Science Podcast

Is there anything more fun than starting your talk with a walk-up song?! Thank you to the brilliant 3rd year Immunobiology PhD students at Yale who organized the '12th Yale Immunobiology Student Symposium' today.

Have you heard about the Night Science Podcast, where we talk about the creative process of doing science? We explore this with discussions with brilliant scientists & philosophers and artists, to figure out the tricks of the creative scientific trade.

🚀Today we're launching the 'Night Science Institute', a non-profit to lead a cultural shift in science! You may say we're dreamers, but we think we're not the only ones. Perhaps today you will join us to make the Day Science and Night Science parts of the process live as one! 😉

Science is like a game of chess; there's the opening-game, there's the middle game, and there's the end game. Sydney Brenner liked the opening game in science: to ask, what would it take to start a new field?
