Open, direct, constructive communication
“There is nothing more practical than a good theory” (Kurt Lewin, 1952)
Science thinks ahead of Engineering acting
True innovation happens OUTside the currently popular trends/beaten tracks
Administration supports the academic system, not vice versa
Collaboration trumps competition: our adversary is ignorance, not colleagues
Be true to yourself and others: If you like pretending, better become an actor than a scientist.
“Remember your humanity, and forget the rest” (Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell, 1955)
Research should be fun: If you don't enjoy it, your advisor is doing a bad job
Usain Bolt will never be fast ENOUGH: his coach will always push him to become even faster, FASTER. Similarly, your research will never be good ENOUGH.
Nevertheless, your value as person does not correlate with public recognition, fame, wealth.
The world is in grave danger: If mankind has a future, it will be based on collaboration, not competition.
For true innovation, and as Science is designated to research ahead of engineering and technology, FORGET all current and contemporary approaches! Instead, study the past classics and apply them to the future. Start by questioning what is considered “gospel” in your field.
