Many of the best researchers in their fields to pretend they do not have time to read books, stay in all the newspapers, or read everything that happens in your area or field of research. But if you tend to be higher than a scientist or researcher in your field, then they certainly should know whereof they speak. Very often I am sitting in seminars and asked about the recent discoveries in the field of the speaker, and he knew nothing.

It’s quite annoying because it would await the reply or confirm the information. Work done, most researchers discovered that I was so busy in his research that do not keep the new stuff, and then are surprised when I or one of its students come with something they have not heard, but because they are locked in laboratories research, I worked in research, instead of reading what others have done.

This is also why 10-year-old PhD is worthless if you stay in your topic or area of expertise, because by then, everything has changed and we know much more than us. Yes, thanks to all those who are held in laboratories. However, the collaboration of more than reading what is being done, research is less than might be needed, even if at some point everyone has to stop talking and someone has to get busy and actually do something. Please consider all these points
