@DinaPomeranz @IlliniBizDean @PHuenermund @dlmillimet @erinhengel I should have used a less definitive langage as I don’t have proper data to prove my point. I did have friends who are astrophysicists and when we exchange about academia they’re always shocked by what happens in economics.

@DinaPomeranz @IlliniBizDean @PHuenermund @dlmillimet @erinhengel Astrophysics is mostly a theoretical field with a lot of math, small teams can have a significant impact in the literature (I’m thinking of someone like Carlo Rovelli in France).

@DinaPomeranz @IlliniBizDean @PHuenermund @dlmillimet @erinhengel Larger projects like telescopes or gravitational waves detectors like Ligo and Virgo as so expensive and so large that they literally need thousands of people to operate. People from the full academic spectrum are actually working on those kind of projects.

@DinaPomeranz @IlliniBizDean @PHuenermund @dlmillimet @erinhengel For instance, the list of authors on the paper about the first discovery of gravitational waves is (literally!) one third of the whole paper length! physics.aps.org/featured-article-pdf/10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.061102

@DinaPomeranz @IlliniBizDean @PHuenermund @dlmillimet @erinhengel Higgs boson detection: even though it’s in particle physics and not in astronomy, authors list is 16 pages on a 32 pages paper! pdf.sciencedirectassets.com/271623/1-s2.0-S0370269312X00285/1-s2.0-S0370269312008581/main.pdf?X-Amz-Security-Token=AgoJb3JpZ2luX2VjEKz%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2FwEaCXVzLWVhc3QtMSJGMEQCIGIqlR7xgjlCYPOzJeKecYGrvOSPmZ%2FH9lg2kEfrBNL2AiBHfpBaTalXdhgF4G%2F8h5P91MJdDdKaIIEoVG%2FnSdgMuyraAwg0EAIaDDA1OTAwMzU0Njg2NSIMvFZUlIq2IRCYN0wCKrcDa%2BtBgpqSLV1U4ojgaMB4nVI9uC5CocJiU122q95KmKad2EL9L%2F5H%2FY8Qiu1m1PuHBDvGWYTm9Lw5KOr5PqTQB3V0250%2FLBwsP19zaVCCdW25P4HCK3NQjCwLFI0f5jS03DpZO22e1rcn%2BsZcwchHbsRYFPncpPoP26GzV3XoLpn4TXO9hy9pdf56GURpTg9k%2FuPn4d4zude5b5rZtC7rGGPjxPL%2BHjkohVLrUnIUM9Hvrbr3eT8%2BfZAfCoZ4pDy7FC9VWeZvjhshpsh1w%2BvZssyHkzrlGhduiTkEnL2Rum2YRfuJNufx1jn1jyq4p1HAa7egCzZ%2BMvIe41mTjznicu9P6EPc9Co%2FSGdwRvDEP%2FhX7R1cAxonyiTyUlaaaRWVDDOosgsWbNvkkoABqMZF8NJPFBdSCzEIPka2uSXuZcJdfWOI%2FNAfJkUyFY4FIxpRuaN7KWTXBttKycjp1g9t8RavkLyNfyV%2FwAt86YDH9JqObHfYpwRaeUwUy6KY4CNkxd7cf52Vlw0sUc63psFFfKaTTOhZx%2F9Ua4J%2BrGcPq039h5ukJyiO0AzP0BBGABUcIwMZ4UZ22jCtg6LqBTq1AU1XS3eA7Oe7x7lbxjsts%2F8h7ZYL3zIq%2F8cGQAKPaIMGYfz%2BUdYm7PoDJUr0geQCs6iuBdftUdgyHH3TN2jWqUBroBSl0mbHNKSbSN8BPlrBvC4hW%2BE%2BNLc82NLG5NTh2DzZLKJu0NnpiWYqFHX2e%2BwQJYHsee6D7tK0xDI1JG6bk9BCiJea2trXW6BsXmYZPbdqnAucqrpkdvzUkrM1SkIRCA0nzVnw2YttFIEUef%2BdXDaKQUs%3D&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20190805T201355Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Credential=ASIAQ3PHCVTYYSQIXZXM%2F20190805%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=17138c5c56767c274b76d861316a25844a83ed357224203f5d486a732a90dc45&hash=3f33de54150010a6c55767359cefcf41546c85625be57531b16b6ea02a20b31f&host=68042c943591013ac2b2430a89b270f6af2c76d8dfd086a07176afe7c76c2c61&pii=S0370269312008581&tid=spdf-b6881337-41bb-4b88-9dbc-78bc366a7cff&sid=454e5f517586b34c1028489144bf9617bdfbgxrqb&type=client&download=true

@DinaPomeranz @IlliniBizDean @PHuenermund @dlmillimet @erinhengel In both cases you can see researchers from institutions from all over the world.
