Ideally, we should stop talking about IFs. The IFs are highly skewed, short-sighted metrics that judge popularity rather than individual paper quality and encourage predatory journal behaviour, citation inflation and bad research practice sfdora.org/read/

of many projects Craig Venter led, of personal significance was the fly genome, a unique and i think unexpected collaboration of his company Celera Genomics and the BDGP, led by my pd advisor Gerry Rubin. the power of a shotgun sequenced metazoan, benchmarked to a physical map, transformed genomics.
