"improvscience accelerates effective collaboration. learn to build rapport, boost listening skills, and build with people across research areas and disciplines."
Fully funded -- no need for scientists to chase grants
No responsibilities besides research -- no teaching load, no administration
All scientists have to be hands-on -- at the bench
A focus on a fairly narrow set of difficult, high-payoff research challenges
No tenure -- senior scientists have a five year term and then may or may not be re-signed
(My favorite) Research groups can have no more than 6 members. This means that they cannot possibly have all the skills they need inside their team and so will have to get out of their own lab and get to know the other people in the place so they can get the help they need.
All of this is nestled in a facility with amenities intended to increase mingling, interaction and ultimately collaboration.
