What Is The Problem?
Chemistry is mostly about molecules
Biology is mostly about organisms
EmergenceEmergence is the way complex systems and patterns arise out of simple interactions.
We need to understand regulation/feedback
We need to go BEYOND THE MOLECULE
Some Examples
"Team Science: The Good, The Bad,
and The Ugly"
Issues in Team Science
What Are The Drivers?
Lure of solving complex problems More funding More impact
The Nature of Interdisciplinary Studies
Knowledge arrives as a whole. Universities disintegrate knowledge, department by department. The promise of interdisciplinary studies is to reintegrate knowledge to promote discovery.
What Are The Drawbacks?
Importance of Communication Completion Credit
GoalDiverse groups working together,
making creative contributions
to complex problems
at the cutting edge,
and extending themselves
to individually unreachable heights
is Team Science at its best.
