Impact What Is It and How Do We Create It? Impact What is it and how do we create it? Joshua Knowles School of Computer Science The University of Manchester COMP80142 — Week 2 2.19, March 19 2014 COMP80142 — Impact 2 2.19, March 19 2014 How to make an impact (case 1) “Bouyed by the success of leaded petrol, Midgely now turned to another technological problem of the age. [...] With an instinct for the regrettable that was almost uncanny, he invented chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs.” Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything COMP80142 — Impact 3 2.19, March 19 2014 Lecture Summary What is impact? How to have it, including some well-known cases Impact in EPSRC and REF terms (brief) Against impact COMP80142 — Impact 4 2.19, March 19 2014 What is impact? [ Discussion (5 mins) ] Make a list of measurable or concrete ways in which your work (specifically research papers) could have impact. COMP80142 — Impact 5 2.19, March 19 2014 What is impact? You get a patent. Careful: you shouldn’t publish a paper first Your idea is implemented in a small company Your idea becomes part of the standard C library, or is behind all internet security globally A technique many people use is due to you, even named after you You are on QI, Stargazing Live and used to be in a rock band You teach, inspire, and enthuse the general public via popular writing or other media COMP80142 — Impact 6 2.19, March 19 2014 Your review or survey is used by everyone in the introduction of papers Your paper gets many citations. Is that impact? You win a prize. Is that impact? Your paper is published in a prestigious journal. Is that impact? You are made professor of computer science at Stanford. Is that impact? COMP80142 — Impact 7 2.19, March 19 2014 What is impact? EPSRC carves it up like this COMP80142 — Impact 8 2.19, March 19 2014 How to make an impact (case 2) Invent The World Wide Web Tim Berners-Lee may not have fully appreciated the impact that the invention of the World Wide Web would have, but he did have an idea; he was driven by doing something that would help scientists at CERN (and more widely) share and organize data more readily. He was tool driven. The impact was from this . COMP80142 — Impact 9 2.19, March 19 2014 . to this COMP80142 — Impact 10 2.19, March 19 2014 How to make an impact: the hard route Do outstanding science, stupid. But that may be a hard trick to pull off, especially if you miss/missed any of Research Methods I, II or III. Good advice, however, can be found here: Advice to a Young Scientist (Peter Medawar) The Act of Creation (Arthur Koestler) Letters to a Young Scientist (Edward O Wilson) COMP80142 — Impact 11 2.19, March 19 2014 How to make an impact: the easier route Write well Use rhetoric to persuade Be generous to others in your field Be bold Tackle problems of wide interest Create tools or data Explain ways that your idea could be developed further. COMP80142 — Impact 12 2.19, March 19 2014 How to make an impact: the easier route Write well Use rhetoric to persuade Be generous to others in your field Be bold Tackle problems of wide interest Create tools or data Explain ways that your idea could be developed further. COMP80142 — Impact 13 2.19, March 19 2014 Be generous to others in your field The Young Upstart Scenario You are new to the field. You write a paper that states that some big- name professor is wrong about everything he’s published in his long and illustrious career. What is the chance you get it published? If you get it published, what is the chance you make friends? What is the chance you are highly cited? Don’t you think it would be wise to take a softly, softly approach? COMP80142 — Impact 14 2.19, March 19 2014 More generally, Don’t say: There have been some limited and isolated uses of hypertext (Berners-Lee, 89), but we here invent a groundbreaking revolution that eclipses previous achievements by allowing hyperlinks to appear pink when clicked. Do say: “I have stood on the shoulders of giants” [although probably not so dramatically] Do this because it is the right thing to do. Respect others’ work as much as you can. COMP80142 — Impact 15 2.19, March 19 2014 Be bold At the same time as being generous and humble, you do need to be bold. This means your paper should come down clearly on one side or the other of some question, challenge or technical mystery. COMP80142 — Impact 16 2.19, March 19 2014 Imagine after your paper is published. Will someone else be able to write of you (Jones): Jones presented evidence [or a well-argued case] in support of X. Peters [some other person] took the opposite view, arguing Z. Or will they have to write: Jones thought that the question as to whether X, or Y or Z is true is debatable. Most people would find the latter weak writing about weak science, and will cut Jones out of the story. COMP80142 — Impact 17 2.19, March 19 2014 Create tools or data Papers that provide tools (software), data (benchmark problems or results) or other useful resources to the community are cited more, as a group, than those that don’t. Example (from my field): Of all JE Beasley’s (∼ 100) papers, his most cited, and the one for which he is perhaps best known describes the OR-Library, a resource to distribute test optimization problems by email. COMP80142 — Impact 18 2.19, March 19 2014 Discussion point [5 minutes] Should science be pursued for its own sake, or only for its impact? Subsidiary questions: Is impact predictable or even measurable? How could you quantify the impact of Brian Cox? COMP80142 — Impact 19 2.19, March 19 2014 How to make an impact (case 3) No pun intended: Although obviously curious, Leonardo was a paid inventor for much of his life. COMP80142 — Impact 20 2.19, March 19 2014 Impact for the EPSRC Proposals for grants or fellowships are required (by EPSRC at least) to have an Impact Summary and a Pathways to Impact statement. More information on these can be found here http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/funding/guidance/preparing/Pages/economicimpact.aspx COMP80142 — Impact 21 2.19, March 19 2014 Impact and the Research Excellence Framework (REF) The research councils now attempt to measure research impact for each unit of assessment (e.g. Computer Science) within each University. Funding is based partly on this score. The REF definitions explain that impact is change or benefit to the economy, society, culture, public policy, . So publishing in “high-impact” journals is not enough, and nor is being highly cited. See more details here http://www.thinkwrite.biz/pdfs/quick impact.pdf COMP80142 — Impact 22 2.19, March 19 2014 An extract from an ‘Impact Case’ for REF can be seen here http://www.ref.ac.uk/media/ref/content/background/impact/physics.pdf COMP80142 — Impact 23 2.19, March 19 2014 COMP80142 — Impact 24 2.19, March 19 2014 Against impact Changes to EPSRC funding policy over the past two years [. ] are rapidly undermining the councils ability to fund the type of curiosity-driven research that won Geim and his colleague Konstantin Novoselov the 2010 Nobel Prize for Physics. These changes are driven to a large extent by the fact that all grant applicants are required to submit a two-page Pathways to impact statement. Philip Moriarty University of Nottingham, UK COMP80142 — Impact 25 2.19, March 19 2014 Against impact Several scientists have stated that science should be driven by curiosity. Examples of discoveries that resulted primarily from curiosity are the following:- Special and General Relativity Penicillin The Higgs Boson Green Fluorescent Protein Wireless LAN (resulting from radio astronomy) COMP80142 — Impact 26 2.19, March 19 2014 Against impact The Higgs Boson — small gravity, big impact “Today, I wouldn’t get an academic job” (Peter Higgs) ‘Higgs said he became “an embarrassment to the department when they did research assessment exercises”. A message would go around the department saying: “Please give a list of your recent publications.” Higgs said: “I would send back a statement: ‘None.’ ” ’ http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/dec/06/peter-higgs-boson-academic-system COMP80142 — Impact 27 2.19, March 19 2014 Summary Impact is a buzz word in science and academia We are supposed to pursue it and predict it, yet it is clear the best science is done out of curiosity or for its own sake in many cases However, thinking about the impact of your work is still worthwhile as long as you don’t lose your curiosity, and don’t spend all your time checking whether your ideas made someone else wealthy or famous Impact is not new. Science has always needed funding, and funders tend to want results COMP80142 — Impact 28 2.19, March 19 2014.

  • 9. Reviving Russian Science and Academia
    TATIANA GOUNKO 9. REVIVING RUSSIAN SCIENCE AND ACADEMIA In October 2010, the Royal Swedish Academy of Science announced the laureates of the Nobel Prize in physics. Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov jointly received this award for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material called graphene, which, according to science experts, will have a wide range of practical applications in the future. The research duo has been working together for over a decade. Born in 1974, Dr. Novoselov is the youngest scientist to be awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize since 1973. He first worked as a Ph.D. student with Dr. Andre Geim in the Netherlands and subsequently joined him in the United Kingdom. Both scientists are currently conducting their research at the University of Manchester. Needless to say, the University of Manchester administration expressed its delight with the news by calling the prize “a truly tremendous achievement” and “a testimony to the quality of research that is being carried out in Physics and more broadly across the University” (University of Manchester, 2010, p. 1). Most of the press releases and on-line publications devoted to the prize-winning duo briefly mentioned that Drs. Geim and Novoselov were Russian-trained researchers. Dr. Geim, who had received his doctorate at the age of 29 and worked for a number of years as a researcher at the Institute for Microelectronics Technology in Chernogolovka (Russia), left the country in 1994 to continue his research career in the Netherlands and later in the United Kingdom. Dr. Novoselov graduated from the Moscow Physical-Technical University in 1997 and joined Dr.

University, Rajasthan-333001, India. *[email protected] Abstract: The Research Paper consists mainly of the birth dates of scientists and philosophers Before Christ (BC) and After Death (AD) starting from Thales of Miletus with a brief description of their work and contribution to the development of Physics. The author has taken up some 400 odd scientists and put them in a chronological order. Nobel laureates are considered separately in the same paper. Along with the names of researchers are included few of the scientific events of importance. The entire chain forms a cascade and a ready reference for the reader. The graph at the end shows the recession in the earlier centuries and its transition to renaissance after the 12th century to the present. Keywords: As the contents of the paper mainly consists of names of scientists, the key words are many and hence the same is not given I. INTRODUCTION As the material for the topic is not readily available, it is taken from various sources and the collection and compiling is a Herculean task running into some 20 pages. It is given in 3 parts, Part I, Part II and Part III. In Part I the years are given in Chronological order as per the year of birth of the scientist and accordingly the serial number.

  • Graphene Is a Form of Carbon
    THE NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS 2010 INFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC – the perfect atomic lattice A thin fake of ordinary carbon, just one atom thick, lies behind this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics. Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov have shown that carbon in such a fat form has exceptional properties that originate from the remarkable world of quantum physics. Graphene is a form of carbon. As a material it is completely new – not only the thinnest ever but also the strongest. As a conductor of electricity it performs as well as copper. As a conductor of heat it outperforms all other known materials. It is almost completely transparent, yet so dense that not even helium, the smallest gas atom, can pass through it. Jannik Meyer, Science vol 324, 15 May 2009 vol Science Jannik Meyer, Figure 1. Graphene. The almost perfect web is only one atom thick. It consists of carbon atoms joined together in a hexagonal pattern similar to chicken wire. Consequently, the article on graphene published in Science in October 2004 stirred up a lot of commotion all around the world. On the one hand, graphene’s exotic properties enable scientists to test the theoretical foundations of physics. On the other hand, a vast variety of practical applications now appear to be possible including the creation of new materials and the manufacture of innovative electronics. Carbon, the basis of all known life on earth, has surprised us once again.
