3.
ScienJfic$DefiniJon$of$“Research”$ • The$strict$definiJon$of$scienJfic$research$is$performing$a$methodical$study$in$order$ to$prove$a$hypothesis$or$answer$a$specific$quesJon.$ • Finding$a$definiJve$answer$is$the$central$goal$of$any$experimental$process.$ •
Research$must$be$systemaJc$and$follow$a$series$of$steps$and$a$rigid$standard$ protocol.$These$rules$are$broadly$similar$but$may$vary$slightly$between$the$ different$fields$of$science.$ • ScienJfic$research$must$be$organized$and$undergo$planning,$including$performing$ literature$reviews$of$past$research$and$evaluaJng$what$quesJons$need$to$be$ answered.$ • Any$type$of$‘real’$research,$whether$scienJfic,$economic$or$historical,$requires$ some$kind$of$interpretaJon$and$an$opinion$from$the$researcher.$This$opinion$is$ the$underlying$principle,$or$quesJon,$that$establishes$the$nature$and$type$of$ experiment.$
4.
Basic$research$also$known$as$fundamental$or$pure$research$is$driven$by$a$ scienJst’s$curiosity$or$interest$in$a$quesJon.$The$main$moJvaJon$of$this$ type$of$research$is:T$ • To$expand$man’s$knowledge$of$the$world$and$not$to$invent$or$create$ something$new.$$ • There$is$no$obvious$commercial$value$in$research$of$this$type.$ $ $ What,is,BASIC,Research?, Basic$science$research$includes$answers$to$such$quesJons$as:$ $ •

5.
Applied$research$is$designed$to$the$pracJcal$problems$that$exist$in$the$ modern$ world,$ rather$
than$ to$ just$ acquire$ knowledge$ for$ knowledge’s$ sake.$One$main$goal$of$applied$science$is$to$improve$human$condiJons$ and$make$the$world$a$beVer$place.$ $ $ What,is,APPLIED,Research?, Applied$science$may$invesJgate$ways$to:$ $ • improve$agricultural$crop$produc5on$ • get$be<er$network$throughput$ • find$alterna5ve$rou5ng$solu5ons$ • treat$or$cure$a$specific$disease$ • improve$the$energy$efficiency$of$homes$

A$common$mistake$made$in$choosing$problems$is$taking$the$first$problem$ that$comes$to$mind.$$ Since$a$typical$project$takes$years$even$it$if$seems$doable$in$months,$rapid$ choice$leads$to$much$frustraJon$and$biVerness$in$our$profession.$$ It$takes$Jme$to$find$a$good$problem,$and$every$week$spent$in$choosing$one$ can$save$months$or$years$later$on.$ Take,Your,Time, In$my$lab,$we$have$a$rule$for$new$students$and$postdocs:$$ Do$not$commit$to$a$problem$before$3$months$have$elapsed.$In$these$ 3$months$the$new$student$or$postdoc$reads,$discusses,$and$plans.$$ $ The$state$of$mind$is$focused$on$being$rather$than$doing.$The$ tempta5on$to$start$working$arises,$but$a$rule$is$a$rule.$AGer$3$ months$(or$more),$a$celebra5on$marks$the$beginning$of$the$research$ phase—with$a$wellKplanned$project.$ $ Taking$5me$is$not$always$easy.$One$must$be$supported$to$resist$the$ urge:$‘‘Oh,$we$must$produce—let’s$not$waste$5me,$and$start$ working.’’$
12.
The,Subjec+vity,of,the,Interest,Axis, Who$decides$how$to$rank$the$interest$of$problems?$One$of$ the$fundamental$aspects$of$science$is$that$the$interest$of$a$ problem$is$subjecJve$and$personal.$ $ The$inner$voice$can$be$strengthened$and$guided$if$one$is$ lucky$enough$to$have$caring$mentors.$$ $ A$scienJst$ofen$needs$a$supporJve$environment$to$begin$to$ listen$to$this$voice.$$ $ $
13.
The,Subjec+vity,of,the,Interest,Axis, Good$test:$ One$way$to$help$listening$to$the$inner$voice$is$to$ask:$‘‘If$I$was$the$only$ person$on$earth,$which$of$these$problems$would$I$work$on?’’$An$honest$ answer$can$help$minimize$compromises.$ $ Another$good$sign$of$the$inner$voice$are$ideas$and$quesJons$that$come$ back$again$and$again$to$your$mind$for$months$or$years.$$ $ Another$good$test:$$ When$asked$to$describe$our$research$to$an$acquaintance,$how$does$it$ feel$to$describe$each$project?$ $ In$science,$the$more$you$interest$yourself,$the$larger$the$probability$that$ you$will$interest$your$audience.$

The,Objec+ve,and,Nurturing,Schemas,of, Research, The$mentors’$task$is$to$support$students$through$the$cloud$that$seems$to$guard$the$ entry$into$the$unknown.$And,$with$this$schema,$we$have$more$space$to$see$that$ problem$C$exists$and$may$be$more$worthwhile$than$conJnuing$to$plod$toward$B.$ “Sailing into the
