Once we had discussed this in one of our noon strolls. I had told you that i feel this "too much knowledge in too shorter time" feeling for the scientific world. There are so many papers published in your research area that you have to be more specific and specific over time: you cannot keep up with the speed of science. But it is an interesting dilemma since science eg. systems biology demands more global research rather than specialized one. I guess that's one of the reasons why the systems biology papers appearing in high quality journals have longer author lists nowadays, requiring collaborative work. So, you finished reading the book? :) Tjeerd, thanks for this post. Once we had discussed this in one of our noon strolls.

So, you finished reading the book? :)
