Another Perspective on Effective Research

Posted 25 January 2006 by Andre under

A few weeks ago I commented on an article by Richard Hamming on how to do high impact research. I recently came across another perspective, this time from physics blogger Michael Nielsen. Overall I think most of what he describes is consistent with Hamming’s opinions but he does a better job of going beyond general principles and gets into more details on implementation. He also takes a more forgiving stance on the relationship between research and the rest of your life that I appreciate. As with the Hamming talk, it’s long but worth reading.

On an unrelated note, Sean at Cosmic Variance has finally come out of the closet: he’s officially biocurious.

    Is there some sort of Bio-pride parade that I can march in, or something?

    Indeed there is. And this year it’s in Salt Lake City of all places.
