SCIENCE SIFTING
Tools for Innovation in Science and Technology
by Rodney R Dietert (Cornell University, USA) & Janice Dietert (Performance Plus Consulting, USA)
cience Sifting is designed primarily as a textbook for students interested in research and as a general reference book for existing career scientists. The aim of this book is to help budding scientists broaden their capacities to access and use information from diverse sources to the benefit of their research careers. The book describes why the capacity to access and integrate both linear and nonlinear information has been an important historic feature of pivotal scientific breakthroughs. Yet, it is a process that our students are rarely, if ever, taught in universities. This book goes beyond simply describing the features of great scientific breakthroughs. It discusses the basis for accessing and using nonlinear information in the linear research context. It also provides a series of tools and exercises that can be used to enhance access to nonlinear information for application to research and other endeavors. Topics covered include focal points in scientific breakthroughs, the use of concepts maps in research, use of different vantage points, information as patterns, fractals for the scientist, memory storage and access points, and synchronicities. Young researchers need useful tools to help with a more holistic approach to their research careers. This book provides the useful tools to support flexibility and creativity across a long-term research career.

Key Features: ey Directed toward students interested in research and present researchers who want to access, sift through, and utilize a broader array of information in their future careers Provides educational background, tools and exercises that are useful for flexible and creative thinking and broader information utilization as can be applied to research Geared to help the budding scientific researcher embark on a long-term satisfying, productive, and creative career
