Science 3.0 - Real Science, Real Knowledge (Paperback)

When people think of a scientist, they often think of someone who has his or her head in the clouds, motivated by an entirely untainted desire for the pursuit of knowledge and truth. In "Science 3.0," Frank Miedema casts aside these beliefs about scientists as needlessly naive, and instead suggests that we rebuild our idea of the sciences, particularly the life sciences, with today's economic reality in mind.This book is a frank discussion of the impact of external forces on the sciences, dealing with topics as diverse as social media for the scientist, the role of academic independence, and the tension between university and business. Miedema also shows the way science shapes both economic and social progress in modern society, and how increasing pressure to solve real-world problems has forced scientists out of the ivory tower and into the corporate world. Sharply observed and exceptionally well-researched, "Science 3.0 "provides scientists with a powerful overview of their field that is singular in its candor and breadth.
