Peter Diamandis is always offering cool interesting columns.  This week's
entry had a fun comment:

 

BACKING YOUNG SCIENTISTS WITH CRAZY IDEAS

The Golden Age report identifies a problem I've screamed about for years:
young talent waits too long before they're given a chance. The median age of
an intramural NIH scientist is 71. Seventy-one. The average age of a Nobel
laureate's prize-winning work is in their 20s. We've built a system where
the people most likely to make breakthroughs spend their peak creative years
writing grant proposals for people three times their age to evaluate.
