It’s remarkable how much resistance the academic community puts up to not doing it “their” way. Especially considering our current grant funding system is pretty recent in terms of the arc of science history. And, most (all?) of the seminal discoveries were way outside the lines of what other mainstream folks thought/considered incontrovertible truth. Extra weird given that the definition of science is arguably(?) pushing the limits of what we know, which has to include challenging current beliefs. Anyway kudos on what you’re doing!
