What if a student or postdoc posts his or her PIs grant proposal on SCIEnCE without permission?
This is one of the more worrisome scenarios. But it would probably be most damaging to the career of the person doing the posting. Rather than imposing some sort of draconian rule like getting a note from the PI before allowing posts to SCIEnCE, students and postdocs are strongly encouraged to pursue one of two options: either refrain from posting your PI’s pending grant proposal, for your own good; or better yet, introduce your PI to SCIEnCE so that the PI gets a chance to buy into the concept.
