The Lone Genius is a Myth: Why Every Breakthrough in Research History Came From Collaboration
From Newton's correspondence networks to the thousands of researchers who contributed to the sequencing of the human genome - the history of science has never actually been the story of a single brilliant mind working in isolation. We examine why Indian academia still teaches the myth, and what it costs researchers who believe it.
