    For anyone following along @sfmatheson found the paper. It was in Science in 2016
    (something I thought was longer ago, turns out to be more recent, which is unusual).

    Thanks to those who boosted:

    Now to have another go at understanding the maths…

    Hey Mastodon folks - I remember a paper that tried to estimate 'intrinsic scientific talent' (Q-factor?) looking over researchers’ careers, from at least 10 years ago. I think it looked at when in a researchers career they tended to do their most cited work. I remember the maths being beyond me. My search engine skills are failing me - can anyone remember the paper?
