  • Does Your Science Box You In?
    Oct 18 2024

    #76 — At the heart of the scientific method lies the idea that perspectives are not static—they evolve, shift, and intersect as we tackle scientific problems from different perspectives and uncover new ground truths.

    Yet, for most of us, daily science boils down to fine details such as the particulars of experimental design, the caveats to our experiments, producing enough data to satisfy the boss, exporting your data in the correct format, and leaving the instrument ready for the next user.

    The list really does go on. And each item is a valid thing to focus on, depending on your perspective.

    But how do you maintain clarity amidst these particulars?

    If your project involves analyzing a bunch of numbers, how do you avoid the pitfalls of narrow-mindedness and tunnel vision?

    And if you were unfettered by so many details and particulars, what would the top research priority be?

    In this episode, we look up instead of down and refresh the importance of thinking from different perspectives to avoid tunnel vision and keep your mind open to fresh ideas.

  • Patience and Getting What You Want. Are They Compatible?
    Sep 13 2024

    #75 — We're told from a young age that patience is a virtue. But does that hold up to scrutiny?

    In some respects, it seems so, given that impatience can be annoying to experience and make you unbearable to the people you're waiting on.

    But what are the consequences of excessive patience? Does it become a pathological trait that results in excess tolerance and forbearance, which, in turn, stop you from getting what you want and perhaps make you afraid to stand up for yourself?

    And remember, science is about defending your ideas and speaking up when you think something is wrong. Plus, whether we like it or not, science as a job and industry can be extremely competitive.

    So, what can you do that gets you the benefits of patience without giving in to concession? Can you turn it on and off like a tap to get what you want? That's what we'll explore in this episode of The Happy Scientist.
