Dr Yvonne Couch - Competition in Science
Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.
In this blog, Yvonne examines how competition influences scientific work, using research on tenure, prestige, field evolution, and the pressures created by short funding cycles. She outlines how incentives in academia shape behaviour at every career stage and explains how systems geared toward rapid output and visible productivity can reshape what counts as valuable or creative work.
