From Einstein to Bezos: What Science Can Teach Us About Creating and Disrupting Growth Models
This post originally appeared on Reforge, and can be read in its entirety there.
One of the things that has struck me in my transition from neuroscience labs to tech is the deep connections in tech to the way the world of science operates (including heavy adoption of scientific terms and techniques), but a general lack of depth in the understanding of what science can really teach us about how to do these things well. Even at ResearchGate, the largest platform at the intersection of tech and science, the awareness of the analogy of our work to science rarely extends past experimentation techniques. I believe this misses a great deal of insight; there is a lot more that we in tech can learn from how science has worked for hundreds of years to build knowledge and drive human progress.
