Rahaf Ajaj: It’s About How Deeply Your Idea Can Reshape The World
Rahaf Ajaj, Associate Professor at Abu Dhabi University, shared on LinkedIn:
”She wasn’t on the Stanford list… but she made it to the Nobel stage.
Mary E. Brunkow, one of this year’s Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, has only 34 published papers and an H-index of 21.
She never appeared in Stanford’s ranking of the world’s top 2% of scientists.
She didn’t chase citations, metrics, or the spotlight.
Yet, she became part of a discovery that changed how humanity understands the immune system.
Today, while many are busy chasing numbers, titles, and rankings —
she reminds us what truly matters in science: the question.
She wasn’t running after the lists.
She was running after the truth.
Because in the end, it’s not about how many papers you publish…
It’s about how deeply your idea can reshape the world.
Focus on your idea, not your ranking.”
