TL;DR
The paper discusses how life scientists often work in a decentralized way, unlike physicists who unite around big goals.
Contribution
It highlights the contrast in collaborative approaches between life scientists and physicists in securing funding.
Findings
Life scientists are perceived as anarchic and self-interested in funding requests.
Physicists excel at uniting around large-scale goals like 'moonshots'.
Grass-roots movements are more effective for life scientists.
Abstract
When it comes to asking for government funding, life scientists can come over as anarchic, self-interested and unable to achieve consensus. While physicists are good at mobilizing behind ‘moonshots’, life scientists tend to work best in the context of a grass-roots movement.
