I thank the Society for Neuroscience for selecting me as recipient of the 2014 Science Educator Award, and for inviting me to write this commentary. I am indebted to Stephen L. Macknik for his detailed feedback and extended discussions on the topic of this article. I also thank Robert Alexander for discussion and Mahzarin Banaji for her thoughts on the framing of this article. Jordi Chanovas Colomé, Max Dorman, Manuel Ledo, and Rosario Malpica contributed research and administrative support, and very helpful input. Devin Powell provided invaluable assistance in compiling the sample of neuroscientists surveyed, and conducting and transcribing the interviews themselves.
