The Art of Science
Roel Snieder, W.M. Keck Distinguished Professor of Basic Exploration Science , Colorado School of Mines,
The current model for training researchers is very much like the medieval system where an apprentice follows a master for years of training. This model gives graduate students valuable hands-on experience. What often lacks in this educational model is an explicit transfer of skills and information at a rate and moment in time that is effective for acquiring research skills in a timely manner.
