Science: ideals vs. reality

Fernando Pérez gave a talk at Pycon 2014 with a brilliant slide:

The ideals reality of science:

• The pursuit of verifiable answers highly cited papers for your c.v.
• The validation of our results by reproduction convincing referees who did not see your code or data
• An altruistic, collective enterprise A race to outrun your colleagues in front of the giant bear of grant funding
