NicoleCRust, Brainstorming corrections for scientific myopia
I’m convinced that we’ve inadvertently created a scientific culture that disproportionately dissuades high-level, big-picture thinking. How do we rectify that?
A few venues I know. Please add to this list!
We write at a high-level. Venues: perspective pieces of journals, thetransmitter.org, aeon.org, etc
We hold workshops to discuss things, at a high-level. Venues like https://www.tfi.ucsb.edu/ & https://esforum.de/ have interesting models.
We devote some time to this at conferences (I’ll be trying that here: https://2024.ccneuro.org/; let’s see how it goes). Know any other examples?
We write, read and discuss books.
I understand astrophysics does something organized (given shared resources): everyone is polled; plans are discussed; reports are written.
