Screenshot of Essay from Martin Schwartz on 'Why would anyone want to be a scientist'. An anniversary article from The Company of Biologists published in Journal of Cell Science.

The first few lines are: It is difficult to fathom why anyone intelligent enough to be a scientist would actually choose to be one. Doing good science requires the utmost exertion of body, mind and spirit, yet is consistently filled with failure and rejection. But, strange even to myself, I not only don't question the unfavorable risk-to-reward ratio but consider myself astonishingly lucky to be a scientist. There are three fundamental pleasures that have sustained me through 50 years of this madness.

“Estamos supermaltratados”. El Gobierno deja en el aire una ayuda millonaria a la investigación en IA para cientos de académicos El Ministerio de Ciencia explica que estudian “diferentes escenarios ante la posibilidad de no poder sacarla adelante”

“Estamos supermaltratados, pero esto es un nivel superior”, dice un catedrático que pidió una de las ayudas para investigación en IA que se convocaron en julio del año pasado. “Cuando un Gobierno decide promocionar algo y luego no lo hace, nos fastidia”
