FWIW, I don’t think the major problem in my field, or related ones, is that people need to move faster & produce more. I read a lot of papers as part of the job, and I’m increasingly convinced we’d benefit from fewer papers and better ones, not more mediocre work produced ever more “efficiently.”

Why aren't more researchers publishing in society journals? Two potential reasons: 1) They're often unfamiliar to early-career researchers, and/or 2) they need better promotion, a task for all of us.

Not sure this needs emphasis, but worried about overfitting in #data-driven models? #Theory-driven predictions based on principles offer transparent rationale. Assumptions, parameters & interconnections are easier to assess and refine - it's more about evaluating assumptions than fitting to data 🧪
