Daunting as this list seems, of these points and fixes are of course interrelated. Even small tweaking can bring big improvements. Take open science. Improvements to funding are needed to promote long-term projects, but in absence of those kinds of grants, open science is all the more important. Sharing partial results and details of studies that might not make it into publications leaves a baton for others to pick up and make the most of their limited funding time.

And speaking of open science, making research public as it's happening (not even results, just what you're studying) can help prevent redundant concurrent studies in multiple labs and facilitate collaboration, also making the most of the limited funding scientists have.
