Pretty interesting report in Nature a week ago about the NIH’s proposal to revamp its peer-review process. We plan to discuss the proposal in more detail at a later date, but I cannot help but refer to the graph that accompanied the story:

What I wanna know is who the one investigator with 11 NIH grants is. Truly remarkable! I’m willing to bet that this person has no strong criticisms of the quality of peer review at the NIH.

Anyway, this graph also reminded me of those plots you see of wealth distribution in New York or London, in which a few people have a lot of money, making those cities a lot less affordable for the rest of us.
