Photo of a bike traffic light with a „wait“ countdown that tends to go down non-linearly. Naturally, the photo was taken in the Netherlands.

My PhD Sajedeh Rasti has published a World View piece in Nature today: "Don’t compete, collaborate: why collective funding applications are the future" www.nature.com/articles/d41... She discusses how she successfully brought together a team of meta-scientists to collaboratively apply for funding.

Scientists with disparate expertise writing grants together can identify knowledge gaps and drive progress — but systems must change to incentivize them.
