I know QuitLit gets a bad rap, but I think it's important to reminded of the power of the minds of the colleagues we are losing.
I think it was @asheeshks.org who said that it isn't just their lost dreams, but the knowledge they would have produced is like a phantom limb for those of us who remain.
