Peter Higgs: I wouldn't be productive enough for today's academic system

Nobel Prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs said he would not be productive enough to succeed in today's academic system, which pressures researchers to publish frequently and collaborate. Higgs, who proposed the Higgs boson particle in 1964, noted that he published fewer than ten papers after his groundbreaking work and would likely be considered unproductive by modern standards.
