And we're not alone. It turns out that Lenny, one of the guys who wrote a "Goodbye academia" post now runs \href{http://protocols.io/}{a startup which makes a crowdsourced protocol repository for the life sciences}. In the past few months I met many "recovering academics" who are starting science-flavored startups, large and small. There is undoubtedly a \href{http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/03/from-crowdfunding-to-open-access-startups-are-experimenting-with-academic-research/}{movement of startups experimenting with academic research}. As noted on \href{http://www.usv.com/posts/yes-another-science-blog-goodbye-academia}{this USV blog post}: "scientists in all fields are beginning to see that another path - outside academia - exists for research". For many of us who love research it is never really a farewell to academia, but hopefully an invitation to make academia better.  \begin{quote}  This blogpost was written (in LaTeX, of all things!) on \textbf{Authorea}.
