179: Discovery vs. maintenance

Dan and James discuss how scientific research often neglects the importance of maintenance and long-term access for scientific tools and resources.

Other things they cover:

• Should there be an annual limit on publications (even if this were somehow possible)?
• The downsides of PhD by publication
• The Gates Foundation's new Open Access policy
