Zusammenfassung: | The technoscientific method - science, technology and their co-evolution: The repositories of technoscientific knowledge: S and T -- The growth of technoscientific knowledge: Ṡ and Ṫ -- Cycles of Ṡ and Ṫ: the transistor and the maser/laser -- Recapitulation -- The intricate dance of question-and-answer finding: Networks of questions and answers: Q and A -- Finding new questions and answers: Q̇ and Ȧ -- Cycles of Q̇ and Ȧ: special relativity and the iPhone -- Recapitulation -- The punctuated equilibria of knowledge evolution - surprise and consolidation: Paradigms as mediators of surprise and consolidation -- Surprise spawns consolidation spawns surprise -- Cycles of surprise and consolidation: artificial lighting -- Recapitulation -- Guiding principles for nurturing research: Align organization, funding, and governance for research -- Embrace a culture of holistic technoscientific exploration -- Nurture people with care and accountability -- Recapitulation "Scientific progress doesn't always precede engineering advances; it often follows. Answering questions isn't always the goal; finding questions often is. Sometimes we seek to strengthen conventional wisdom; sometimes to surprise it. What if we could rethink nurturing research, through policy and management, to harmonize with the nature of research?"-- |
