Scientists Cooperate while Humanists Ruminate (EF, JP) 41:46

26 hari yang lalu41:46

41:46

Back in 2021, John and Elizabeth sat down with Brandeis string theorist Albion Lawrence to discuss cooperation versus solitary study across disciplines. They sink their teeth into the question, “Why do scientists seem to do collaboration and teamwork better than other kinds of scholars and academics?” The conversation ranges from the merits of collective biography to the influence of place and geographic location in scientific collaboration to mountaineering traditions in the sciences. As a Recallable Book, Elizabeth champions The People of Puerto Rico, an experiment in ethnography of a nation (in this case under colonial rule) from 1956, including a chapter by Robert Manners, founding chair of the Brandeis Department of Anthropology. Albion sings the praises of a collective biography of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, A Message to Our Folks . But John stays true to his Victorianist roots by praising the contrasting images of the withered humanist Casaubon and the dashing young scientist Lydgate in George Eliot’s own take on collective biography, Middlemarch. Discussed in this episode: Richard Rhodes Making of the Atomic Bomb Ann Finkbeiner, The Jasons: The Secret History of Science’s Postwar Elite James Gleick, The Information Jon Gertner, The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation Black Hole photographs win giant prize Adam Jaffe, “ Geographic Localization of Knowledge Spillovers as Evidenced by Patent Citations “ Jamie Cohen-Cole, The Open Mind Julian Steward et al., The People of Puerto Rico Paul Steinbeck, Message to Our Folks Jenny Uglow, Lunar Men George Eliot, Middlemarch Listen to and Read the episode here.

What makes one sentence easy to read and another a slog that demands re-reading? Where do you put information you want readers to recall? Drawing on cognitive neuroscience, psychology and psycholinguistics, Writing for the Reader’s Brain (Cambridge University Press, 2025) provides a practical, how-to guide on how to write for your reader. It introduces the five 'Cs' of writing - clarity, continuity, coherence, concision, and cadence - and demonstrates how to use these to bring your writing to life. Dr. Yellowlees Douglas is the founder of ReadersBrain Academy and has spent over twenty-five years teaching writing to everyone from professors to freshmen. This interview was conducted by Renee Hale, who holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and works in R&D for the food and beverage industry. She is the author of The Nightstorm Files , a voracious reader, and enjoys sharing the joy of new perspectives with listeners. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

How do academic books get published? How do scholars turn dissertations and articles into the books we love? How does academic publishing compare to the world of trade publishing? This week, we speak with Robert Dreesen, a seasoned publishing professional with over 30 years of experience in the industry. Dreesen has worked in trade publishing at Penguin and Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, and for nearly two decades at Cambridge University Press, where he served as a publisher of economics and political science. In this episode, we explore the world of academic publishing—offering guidance for young scholars looking to transform their ideas, dissertations, and articles into published books. Dreesen shares the biggest pitfalls scholars encounter when approaching this challenge and walks us through the entire process, from formulating a proposal to securing a book deal. We also discuss how external factors can influence publishing decisions. Additionally, Dreesen reflects on the differences between academic and trade publishing, offering unique insights from his long career. As someone who has worked with countless books, he also reveals the written works he returns to time and again for both enjoyment and intellectual stimulation.

In this episode of Publish My Book , we explore how to transform a dissertation into a compelling book. We begin by examining the key differences between the two: while a dissertation demonstrates our research abilities to advisors, a book communicates core ideas to a broader audience. We discuss how to distill our arguments, streamline dense sections, and rewrite for clarity and engagement. We also consider our target audience—academic or trade—and address the ethical and legal considerations of permissions for borrowed materials.

In this episode of Publish My Book , we explore the essential role of a well-crafted book index in academic publishing. A good index helps readers easily locate specific topics, names, or places, making your book more accessible and impactful. Avi discusses different types of indexes—such as subject, author, and sources indexes—and provides guidance on creating one. We emphasize starting the process early, choosing relevant terms, and ensuring accuracy. While some authors prefer to create their own index, outsourcing to experts is also an option.

Understanding Open Access Publishing 7:15

7:15

In this episode of Publish My Book , we explore open-access publishing, a model designed to make publicly funded research freely available to everyone. Unlike traditional publishing, where readers or libraries pay for access, open access requires authors or their institutions to cover upfront fees—often $4,000 to $6,000—to make their books freely accessible. We discuss the benefits of open access, such as broader readership, higher citation rates, and increased impact. We also brought up the challenges, particularly the financial burden, and offer practical tips for authors, including applying for grants, adding open-access fees to funding proposals, and exploring models like Subscribe to Open , where libraries pool resources to support open-access titles.

We talk about the coauthored paper Flakify: A Black-Box, Language Model-based Predictor for Flaky Tests ( TSE 2023 ). Taher Ghaleb : "With our RQs, it's not just a matter of there being a problem with flaky tests. I mean, every researcher in this area already know that flaky tests is a problem. So, when we talk about the problem in our paper — or specifically, about the motivation behind our RQs — it's not about the flaky tests, because that's just the core problem which we already know — but instead, we talk the problem with existing approaches to flaky tests."

We talk about the coauthored paper Cybersecurity Challenges in the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry: An Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS) Perspective ( TCPS 2022 ). Abubakar Mohammed : "I would put the success of the paper down to us just generally understanding the audience we want. Because, we were quite clear about who our audience are — we were looking at security experts who need to secure oil-and-gas critical infrastructure — and these experts have been, like us, inundated by nonspecific research talking about loads of other industries, but not the oil and gas industry. So, we were targeting that sort of professionals, and we were targeting government officials who are in charge of making specific legislation to improve the cyber-hygiene of the oil and gas industry."

Ricardo Amaro : "One of the main challenges we've been experiencing in DevOps is, let's say, the cultural resistance to change — and really, it's questions like these that, sure, academia have tried to answer, but to be honest, they try from a perspective that's a little bit siloed, because they are not attempting to start a conversation to find consensus."

We talk about his coauthored paper Guidelines to Derive an e3value Business Model from a BPMN Process Model: An Experiment on Real-world Scenarios ( SOSYM 2023 ). Isaac da Silva Torres : "I'm an industrial engineer, and I've worked in a lot of companies. Then afterwards, I worked for the government, back in Brazil. And then I came to the Netherlands to do my PhD. But, my work experience, as a business analyst, had always positioned me between business and IT somehow — and being this bridge, well, this worked really well for me. Because, being in between, you really can appreciate, for example, the interests of both sides. I mean, people in business departments, when it comes to digital transformation, for example — they're totally focused on the system — but of course, the people from IT are like, 'Okay, but can you give me the requirements. What exactly do you want?' I'm able to see those two sides, and can act." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…
