With more $$ being channeled into big science, here comes a powerful argument for promoting small science: a clever study showing that small teams are way more likely to produce fresh, disruptive work (that the big teams need to build on) theatlantic.com/science/arch…

Small Teams of Scientists Have Fresher Ideas

A new study shows that little teams are more likely to take their research in radically new directions.
