What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too? And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates. A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N

I'm leaving @ESI_Frankfurt. I’ll miss the huge group of kind smart hardworking 95% who make it so promising. But relieved to leave the handful of people whose behavior does not meet minimal standards of morality. In admin & senior science, a few truly *appalling* people. 🧵 soon.
