   “While day science is compartmentalized, night science is truly interdisciplinary. You may bring an answer from your home field to another discipline, or conversely, venturing into another field may let you discover a route towards answering a research question in your main discipline. [..] But this creativity-enhancing interdisciplinarity comes at a price we may call "expert's dilemma": with your loss of status as a highly focused expert comes a loss of credibility”

     Now I need to add “expert’s dilemma” and “night science” to this page (smiles! But seriously… working at intersections is hard due to the work, and also because to be effective it needs to be collaborative, and we’re… not great at valuing that… expertise)
