My Charlemagne this week is on how to turn the European Union into the European Onion—a multi-layered construct with a core and outer tiers.
Unity still matters. Getting stuff done matters more.

But I think Paul's question is a good one... why isn't there more? I think partly b/c it's truly interdisciplinary, but not glamorous. Many biologists learn about controls the hard way, via reviewer requests. And there is certainly a good deal of cargo cult going on, as well.
- do knock-out and -in experiments, find genetic interactions and solve other combinatorial riddles.
(2/2)
- study systems that are mindbogglingly complex and complicated,
- use reductionism to study and describe such systems, using famously clumsy and fiddly tools to collect noisy and incomplete data,

![The new Nazi commissar wasted no time on the amenities. He immediately announced that Jews would be forbidden to enter university premises and would be dismissed without salary on March 15; this was something that no one had thought possible despite the Nazis’ loud antisemitism. Then he launched into a tirade of abuse, filth, and four-letter words such as had been heard rarely even in the barracks and never before in academia. . . . [He] pointed his finger at one department chairman after another and said, “You either do what I tell you or we’ll put you into a concentration camp.” There was silence when he finished; everybody waited for the distinguished biochemist-physiologist. The great liberal got up, cleared his throat, and said, “Very interesting, Mr. Commissar, and in some respects very illuminating: but one point I didn’t get too clearly. Will there be more money for research in physiology?"
The meeting broke up shortly thereafter with the commissar assuring the scholars that indeed there would be plenty of money for “racially pure science.” A few of the professors had the courage to walk out with their Jewish colleagues, but most kept a safe distance from these who only a few hours earlier had been their close friends. I went out sick unto death—and I knew that I was going to leave Germany within forty-eight hours.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r3avzdjyhu6jm7vxia265ncu/bafkreifojqcxuiy2wz6bx4wxamyzad5tkda2gbfljc6olk7jvd6pmt74hu@jpeg)
