Abstract

An acquaintance of mine once said that “scientists are like cattle. They graze the surface and move on to greener pastures.” The author of this jaded verdict is himself a successful scientist and a master grazer, so he should know. Hemispheric specialization used to be among the more inviting pastures, but no longer is. Most young researchers tend to search for other pastures.
