Defining ;;good science;; in today's World : a video compilation of perspectives and advice for incoming graduate students

[摘要] Although graduate science education does an excellent job training students in the technical and career aspects of science, there is too little attention paid to teaching the wisdom of ;;good;; science that encourages riskier path-breaking work over fluff, with the highest goal of research being discovery rather than scholarly publication. In an attempt to help fill this gap, I interviewed fifteen senior life scientists over the past year. These interviews were filmed and edited into four topic videos: The Allure of Science, I-ow to Do Good Science, On Mentorship, and Where Science Is Headed. Geared towards graduate students in the life sciences, these videos are designed to start a conversation between students and their advisors on important but currently ignored aspects of doing good science.
