All through April, Pacific Standard magazine ("The Science of Society") has been profiling the 30 people it finally ended up with as being the Top Thinkers Under 30. They represent fields as varied as psychology, military studies, public affairs, and economics. What most have in common, according to this article, are humility, patience, and a true appreciation of research. They also talk about their mentors and about being in the right place at the right time: http://www.psmag.com/navigation/books-and-culture/the-30-top-thinkers-under-30-introduction-76201/
