Some academics go on and doing the same research times after times, often as continuation of their thesis work. Academia seems to me (Ivan Sutherland) deficient in mechanisme to help people stop old and stale projects. Somethimes,their sponsors withdraw support and sometimes their peers suggest change. More often, hoever academics continue working on old things, turning away only when they find newer and more interesting project*.
