What does it mean to be on the cutting edge of science?

It means inspiring the next generation of science, technology, engineering and mathematics leaders. Expanding STEM opportunities for teachers and students. Being the go-to source for surprising and important science reporting. Helping students link their education to the latest science discoveries, facts and news. Fostering partnerships between research teachers and affiliated science fairs. Empowering advocates to support community-based STEM projects.

It means you will be the grad student whose ideas and work are stolen, and that you will face a really tough slog proving your ideas correct. You will be met with ridicule, then as you prove your ideas, with skepticism, then suddenly everyone will do their damnedest to take credit for your work.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
