69 | Keith Yamamoto and the freedom to fail - Night Science Keith Yamamoto, professor and science policy leader at UCSF, discusses with us how modern science became trapped in a system that discourages creative risk-taking. Keith contrasts academia's fear of f...

Should domain experts evaluate a paper/grant that has paradigm-challenging ideas? Yamamoto says never because they are unlikely to do it objectively since it threatens their own paradigms. Instead, use generalist reviewers. Interesting interview:
