038 Reading science
from The Happy Jōb Records Hosted by Russ Waddell
Science gets filtered before Regular Joes read it. But why? There’s nothing innate to academic (or commercial) research and development that makes it too complex for the average person to follow the basics. Maybe it’s just easier to assume a bunch of big brained geniuses have it under control. Maybe there are some perverse incentives to overcomplicate communication on research and results. 1m 37s A proposal that all college students take a class on reading research papers. 7m 40s Applied versus theoretical knowledge is not so much a competition as a continuum. 11m 22s Tire Talk with Russ ‘n’ Terry. 19m 44s Most science isn’t breakthroughs, which is why breakthroughs are notable. 27m 26s Technicians doing science for scientists. 34m 8s An accidental path to working adjacent to R&D. 39m 28s The most impressive collaborator is…nobody in particular. 45m 42s Existing systems for scientific research are mostly working. They could be better. More people should be able to grasp how they work and participate directly. Having bad, boring, or repetitive research is inevitable. 50m 15s Actions speak louder than business cards.
