howtoresearch.pdf Le designer : ingénieur et artiste, suffisamment des deux… Chargé de la Mission Design par les ministres de l'Économie, de la Culture et de l'Éducation nationale, Alain Cadix expose chaque semaine pour L'Usine Nouvelle sa vision des mutations de l'industrie par le prisme du design et de l'innovation. Cette semaine, il nous explique en quoi le designer, suffisamment ingénieur et suffisamment artiste, peut devenir une figure régénératrice de la société contemporaine. Lorsque j’arrivai à la direction d’une grande école de design industriel, on me persuada que le designer n’était "ni ingénieur ni artiste" et qu’il se situait ailleurs. Alors, me direz-vous, est-ce qu’un designer doit avoir fait maths sup et maths spé, suivi des cours de physique quantique et être un spécialiste du calcul par éléments finis ? Par ailleurs, il doit penser globalement l’objet, depuis ses performances à l’usage (il va alors plus loin que bien des ingénieurs) jusqu’à la façon dont il est structuré et sera fabriqué.
Gravity and Levity | A blog about the big ideas in physics, plus a few other things Survival Tips for PhD Students | Scientific Malaysian Magazine by Juliana Ariffin Everyone starts graduate school for different reasons. Some may have always had a passion for science, others are determined to push the boundaries of human knowledge and discover their inner Einstein. You may even be a bit of an idealist and desire to improve human destiny even if you have to sacrifice yourself, ala Marie Curie. Or maybe you are a go-getter and you think a PhD is your stepping stone to a better future. For many, it will be combination of all the above. However, the journey through a PhD is hardly ever a straight and narrow road. Survival Tip #1: Choose a supervisor you get along with. One thing to be very careful about when starting a PhD is to choose a lab with a suitable supervisor for you. So before you commit to a lab, attend seminars by the supervisor you are aiming to work with, and talk to their current and former students. Survival Tip #2: Choose a project you are excited about, but make sure you have options! Survival Tip #6 Networking
Understanding Science: An overview To understand what science is, just look around you. What do you see? Perhaps your hand on the mouse, a computer screen, papers, ballpoint pens, the family cat, the sun shining through the window …. Science helps to satisfy the natural curiosity with which we are all born: Why is the sky blue? Science is complex and multi-faceted, but the most important characteristics of science are straightforward: Science is a way of learning about what is in the natural world, how the natural world works, and how the natural world got to be the way it is. To many, science may seem like an arcane, ivory-towered institution — but that impression is based on a misunderstanding of science. Science affects your life everyday in all sorts of different ways.Science can be fun and is accessible to everyone.You are probably already using scientific thinking in your everyday life – maybe without even knowing it.Anyone can “do” science by investigating questions scientifically. Where to begin?
Minetest 10 ways to insult a scientist | PhD-bility Although the scientific world is relatively civilized, people developed subtle ways of insulting each other without really saying it. Here is my top 10. 1- Does mainly applied research. The rivalry, despise, and even haste between “fundamental” and “applied” researchers is just as legendary then the one between New York and New Jersey, France and England, Mac and PC’s. Somebody coming from the “fundamental” side will use the sentence “does mainly applied research” if they want to say “Basically, does no research at all“. Baaam. 2- Is a good teacher. 3- Has been tenured since a long time. 4- Publishes in specialized journals. 5- Is often gone on conference. 6- Research is mainly based on correlations/descriptions. 7- Is good at bench work. 8- Is present during work hours. 9- Is a nice person. 10- Is too busy to attend seminars. So, do you recognize some of these ? Like this: Like Loading...

Se cuisiner un statut.Des noms aux verbes dans l’étude de la stratification sociale Jack Katz Résumé En mangeant, nous cuisinons tous, en combinant de façon personnelle les ingrédients à notre disposition pour aiguiser notre appétit ; mais peu d'entre-nous sont appelés cuisiniers. Cet exemple prosaïque introduit à une nouvelle approche du statut matériel. Une formule sociologique qui prête au capital, à l'opposé du travail, la source de l'avantage, ne permet pas de saisir les dynamiques qui façonnent le statut matériel. A partir d'une étude menée sur un quartier de Los Angeles (Hollywood), l'article montre qu'au niveau social le plus élevé, comme au plus bas, les personnes fabriquent leur statut matériel en combinant de façon inventive ce qu'elles ont, comme ressources passives à leur disposition, et ce qu'elles font, en matière de travail rémunéré au temps ou à la pièce. Abstract In the process of eating, everyone cooks, personally combining ingredients at hand to enhance appetite ; but few are called cooks. Pour citer cet article : Jack Katz. BECKER HowardS., 2008.
