title: Science, narcissism and the quest for visibility.
abstract: How narcissism, a personality associated with a 'need for power', influences scientific behaviour is analysed. The caption shows the sadness of a scientist (in a submissive posture) whose work has been scooped. The community maintains this scientist at a low status, by preventing him from being galvanised by the social attention of others.
