Research powers innovation and technoscientific advance, but it is
due for a rethink, one consistent with its deeply holistic nature,
requiring deeply human nurturing. Research is a deeply human
endeavor that must be nurtured to achieve its full potential. As
with tending a garden, care must be taken to organize, plant, feed,
and weed-and the manner in which this nurturing is done must be
consistent with the nature of what is being nurtured. In The
Genesis of Technoscientific Revolutions, Venkatesh Narayanamurti
and Jeffrey Tsao propose a new and holistic system, a rethinking of
the nature and nurturing of research. They share lessons from their
vast research experience in the physical sciences and engineering,
as well as from perspectives drawn from the history and philosophy
of science and technology, research policy and management, and the
evolutionary biological, complexity, physical, and economic
sciences. Narayanamurti and Tsao argue that research is a
recursive, reciprocal process at many levels: between science and
technology; between questions and answer finding; and between the
consolidation and challenging of conventional wisdom. These
fundamental aspects of the nature of research should be reflected
in how it is nurtured. To that end, Narayanamurti and Tsao propose
aligning organization, funding, and governance with research;
embracing a culture of holistic technoscientific exploration; and
instructing people with care and accountability.
