Hello, Peter!</p> <p>I'm glad to see the blog taking shape. It's been a long time since the YSN conversation faded away. Today, like back in 1992, funding is tight and the future looks perplexing. How will team science play out? How will large-scale data management change the life sciences? What, exactly, has a young person gotten him or herself into nowadays when choosing science as a career and lifestyle? Just like in 1992...1892... 1792....1292... the world is full of such interesting possibilities. Understanding how the scientific enterprise works, and retooling it to work better. What a timely idea!</p> <p>Victoria</p>
