Summary

Here we provide an overview of Part I, introducing the main themes we will address as they relate to the science of careers. We ask what mechanisms drive productivity and impact, how creativity is distributed over the course of a career, and whether a scientist’s highest impact work can tell us anything about the other work they produce.
