Ways have to be found to maintain university research untramelled by requirements of forecasting application or usefulness.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Research universities need excellent means to communicate and express their results to regular people.
Research is of considerable importance in certain fields, such as science and history.
We had to depend on other institutions to do research on our behalf. We had to use the information that already existed to craft the best practices to distribute throughout the country. And we had to do all of that in ten months.
The most reliable way to forecast the future is to try to understand the present.
What do you want to get done? In what order of importance? Over what period of time? What is the time available? What is the best strategy for application of time to projects for the most effective results?
Universities think people come up with great ideas by closing the door. The academic tenure process, where you have to publish to journals which are very narrow, stands in the way of great research.
Being able to do research in a real-time way is the way research needs to be done in the future.
Research! A mere excuse for idleness; it has never achieved, and will never achieve any results of the slightest value.
If you have to forecast, forecast often.
Basic research is very useful, but it should be more geared toward application than it was before.
