ambition How much to take on and how hard to push: superlinear returns to effort, focus, slack time, and procrastination.

innovation Where new things come from and how they spread: invention against diffusion, and being near the factory floor.

What Janna Levin actually said

  1. Janna Levin Theoretical cosmologist
    I would find it impossible to not pursue a discovery that I could imagine my way through, if I can really see how to get there. I cannot imagine abandoning it for some other reason, fear that it would be misused, which is a real fear.
