My dream is that someday, scientists will be funding other scientists, and the people in the white coats won't have to be begging from the people in the grey suits and fancy ties to fund research that could change humanity.
On that line of thought, I have been wondering for a while now: what would the requirements be for a change in the economy where science talent becomes as rewarded as sales talent or almost any non-science profession that pays well over a long career? For example, what would be the circumstances that lead to a scenario where a really, really unbelievably good scientist makes $700,000/year on the market? Just someone running lots of "virtual biotech companies"? Someone slapping together Heroku-oops-I-mean-Transcriptic programs? I don't really know. But I also know that paying everyone the same is dumb, and that I am happy to hire as many postdocs as possible at $40k/year for sure.
