The corollary to this is a bit scary.
If even a little funding is reallocated or removed from this top 15-20%, academic science could lose multiple percentage points worth of scientists.
In other words, science is beholden to the rich few.
If 15-20% of labs have >20 scientists (call these "large labs"), this means ~40 percent of scientists work in "large labs"

If you're a biologist, you essentially cannot use Fable 5 yet 😭
she is a major reason I was able to go to grad school. Miss you, Sue!
Molecular biologist & geneticist Susan Lindquist (b. #OTD in 1949) was a pioneer in studying protein folding.
Her research demonstrated protein folding errors contribute heavily to neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's & Parkinson's diseases. National Medal of Science in 2010. #WomenInSTEM
This deep sea creature is as sharp & clear as broken class, & can grow as long as your hand. This giant amphipod, (Cystisoma) only has two colored body parts: the dense orange stomach/egg pouch, & two MASSIVE eyes, which are a glittering holographic orange layer completely covering its head.

Yes, especially so when you are a biologist for whom 90% works is an astounding success.
