Two Sigma’s Post

Ken’s insights from decades of studying what good looks like and #ShigeoShingo teachings included that we in healthcare need to focus on flowing processes so caregivers have the TIME to care for the patients!! If those #worksystems and #processes aren’t putting the right materials in the right place at the right time so that people can deliver care… then that is the #improvement you should make first.

NARST Virtual Event: International Collaboration Series #1 Nov. 7, 2023 8:00-9:30 AM Eastern Standard Time The NARST International Committee (IC) is offering a series of three virtual events for NARST members across the globe. The topics in this series are aimed at fostering professional growth of the members by enhancing collaborative support network. The three topics for this event series are: 1. Examining the idea of counterintuitive questions in removing science misconceptions This session will focus on understanding the difference between intuition and misconceptions in science and discuss the possibility of using counterintuitive questions in removing science misconceptions by means of a panel discussion. The session will also have a discussion on how to implement counterintuitive questions in a science classroom. 2. Forming and maintaining cross-country research collaborations NARST members will be invited to explore possible ideas for cross-country research collaboration in science education. The session will invite scholars around the world to share their experiences and discuss necessary partnership steps from writing proposals to publishing papers. More specifically, ideas will be shared on how to initiate a cross-country collaboration, challenges, and opportunities on how to form and maintain such collaborations respecting the cross-country aspect. 3. Surviving and Thriving as an International Graduate Student International graduate students face special cultural and language barriers that can affect their nascent network and their writing progress. This session will invite current and recently completed international graduate students to reflect on how to survive and thrive in their respective programs. Expected topics include building a support structure within a community and program, building an international network through the engagement of peer support, and writing conference proposals or journal articles. https://lnkd.in/d_cQbbVW

Collaborative research is reshaping the academic landscape, becoming an indispensable force for innovation.

Scientific inquiry is a cornerstone of human advancement, but it must be built on the foundation of human integrity. Scientific methods used by unethical humans significantly decay trust and waste precious financial/social capital. While not passing any particular judgement on this case at Stanford, it serves as a crucial reminder of this reality. At its core, scientific research is a pursuit of truth, and we must espouse the highest standards of honesty in our work. I also recognize that team science requires a level of oversight that can be sometimes challenging. We must teach early and often at work and in our homes of the need to strive for integrity and excellence in everything we do (particularly scientific inquiry), while also ensuring accountability in our teams. #science #integrity #truth #accountability #teamwork

University of Zurich’s Professor Michael Schaepman believes that #interdisciplinarycollaboration is key to building bridges in #education, to include everyone - from scientists and policymakers to the public - in shaping our future, and that of our planet.

An instant classic conversation with Brian Nosek. If you are a #phd or #researcher, this interview is a must to watch. I dive deep into a conversation with Professor Brian Nosek, a leading social-cognitive psychologist and the co-founder and director of the Center for Open Science. We explore the critical elements of courage and #entrepreneurship in navigating the often complex and contentious landscape of #scientific research. We talk about confronting challenges head-on and asking the hard questions that propel science forward. Join us as we unpack what it means to be courageous in #academia and how this courage fuels innovation and discovery. What an honor! #changescience

Do you ever wonder how the German academic landscape works? It is such a complex web of interconnected yet competitive entities. From government coordination to research funding sources, universities, and non-university research institutions, a diverse array of actors shape the scientific realm. Yesterday I was able to to attend an inspiring talk by Jan-Martin Wiarda. He explored interdependencies and responsibilities within this system and reflected on how universities deal with expectations, assert their interests and make a contribution to society Gaining insights into the evolving governance structures and collaborative efforts that drive innovation in German academia was a great experience. #GermanScience #AcademicGovernance #CollaborationInResearch #UniversityLeadership #ResearchFunding #SciencePolicy

Collective behavior can be fascinating! This video by Dr. Iain Couzin explores how simple rules can lead to complex behaviors in groups of animals. From fish aligning themselves to ants finding the shortest path, the science behind this is incredible. Could these same principles apply to human societies? #collectivebehavior #science #decisionmaking The Geometry of Decision Making. #systemsthinking #collective_behavior #dynamical_systems also check the playlist of 2023 cornel University International systems thinking conference! full of enjoying presentations in various fields.
