“My CV does not reflect the bulk of my academic efforts - it does not mention the exams I failed, my unsuccessful PhD or fellowship or Job applications, or the papers never accepted for publication. At conferences, I talk about the one project that worked, not about the many that failed.” - Melanie Stefan (Nature; 468, 467, 2010)
