Donald Knuth: Do what you really think is important

"Don't believe just because something is trendy that it's good. I think you get more prestige doing good science than popular science. If you go with what you really think is important then it's a higher chance that it really is important in the long run, and it's the long run that has the most benefit to the world." - Donald Knuth (2012)
