Apparently some scientists surveyed have a list of problems in science that they wish should be attended to.

We recently asked scientists a simple question: If you could change one thing about how science works today, what would it be and why?
We heard back from 270 scientists around the world, including graduate students, senior professors, laboratory heads, and Fields Medalists. And they told us that in a variety of ways, they feel their careers are being hijacked by perverse incentives.

The top 7 responses are given here

(although most are true about the profession of science, IMO there are underlying causal and structural problems that need to be addressed)
