Editor's Notes
- #2 Originally prepared for UBRP group session - http://ubrp.arizona.edu/
- #6 When people hear “hybrid” they usually think of cars, and likely the ToyotaPrius.http://www.flickr.com/photos/sskennel/4496534369/
- #7 Darwin studied hybrid vigorhttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/32/Charles_Darwin_by_Elliott_and_Fry.jpg
- #8 Major of corn grown worldwide is from hybridshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Koeh-283.jpg
- #9 Successful combinations
- #10 It seems like computer science and computational thinking are creating plenty of hybrid disciplines now
- #14 Okay – that was a bogus one. Computational Gardening is a horrible idea.
- #15 But computational approaches are not only ones creating new disciplines. Biology is have a major impact.
- #20 And the list goes on…. And on.
- #21 Games usually have some limiting factor so that user-controlled characters cannot specialize in everything. This is an example from Star Wars Galaxies and how they controlled user characters by imposing a skill tree.http://jitterypenguin.com/images01/SWG%20Screenshots/Zoee/Master%20Commando%20Skill%20Tree.jpg
- #22 What limits you? Time, attention, energy… http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonivc/2283676770/
- #23 No one person can be a master of all the skills needed to produce large, scalable systems to support biology, bioinformatics, or computational biologyhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/lorelei-ranveig/2294093649/

- #35 If you’re dealing with non-technical, technical folks who are not familiar with your expertise then how do expect to be successful communicating?
- #36 Beyond patience and plain, approachable explanation – maybe a technical savvy implementation of the Babel fishhttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Babel_fish_badge.jpg
- #39 Why do many software project fail? Communication and misunderstandings.
- #40 Poor communication and misunderstandings.
- #42 Why do many software project fail? Communication and misunderstandings. Project need to adaption.
