I too am convinced that we are publishing far too many papers. The way to put a stop to this unsustainable situation is to enforce quality rather than quantity at all levels, hiring, tenureship, promotion, awards and prizes... everywhere. theguardian.com/science/2025/j…

Can you recognize the physicist standing between Dirac and SN Bose in this picture? She is Purnima Sinha, one of the first women PhDs from India. Sinha was Bose's PhD student. Although Bose was famous for his theoretical work(Bose statistics), he was also a keen experimenter.…
