2022 August 16: Protocol Labs Seminar

  • Event: Protocol Labs Research Seminar
  • Speaker: Jeff Tsao (Sandia National Labs)
  • Host: Liam O'Hagan
  • Date/Time: 2022 August 16, 1-2 pm EDT
  • Title: The Nature and Nurture of Research: A Modern Synthesis
  • Abstract: Research is complex, fragile, and easily misunderstood. Scientific advance doesn’t always precede, it often follows, engineering advance. Answering questions isn’t always the goal, finding questions often is. We don’t always seek to strengthen conventional wisdom, sometimes we seek to surprise it. What if we could rethink research so that its nurturing, through policy and management, harmonizes with its nature? In this talk, we give an overview of a such a rethinking, as outlined in a new book, “The Genesis of Technoscientific Revolutions: Rethinking the Nature and Nurture of Research.”

  • Title: Rethinking the Nature and Nurture of Discovery Research
  • Abstract: Research, particularly on the “discovery” end of the R&D spectrum, is complex and easily misunderstood. Scientific advance doesn’t always precede, it often follows, engineering advance. Answering questions isn’t always the goal, finding questions often is. We don’t always seek to strengthen conventional wisdom, sometimes we seek to surprise it. What if we could rethink research so that its nurturing, through policy and management, harmonizes with its nature? Join us for a talk by Venky on his new book with Jeff Tsao, “The Genesis of Technoscientific Revolutions” (Harvard University Press, Nov 2021) addressing this question.
