Computing:
Accelerating Outcomes with Researchers

The Great Challenges
(and Opportunities) of
Today’s Research
“answering even a simple
scientific question requires
lots of choices that can shape
the results. This doesn’t mean
that science is unreliable. It
just means that it’s more
challenging than we
sometimes give it credit for.”
Science isn’t broken
“It’s just a hell a lot
harder than we give
it credit for”
Research is Increasingly Collaborative
Collaborations: The Rise of Research Networks, The Nature 490, 335–336 (18 October 2012) doi:10.1038/490335a
“Bright lines in this map of scientific collaborations between 2005 and 2009 show many joint publications.”
