Sir Rochard 'Dock' Bunson<p>Full disclosure: I'm not a physicist, but I do work with one. 😅 My degree is in biology, I've studied epidemiology/public health & my day job is as a microscopist. </p><p>My natural tendency as a <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/generalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>generalist</span></a> is to think interdisciplinarily & I also feel that is where the greatest breakthroughs are going to come from. We've mined most aspects of science to the point that where additional study in a particular topic is usually in finer and finer minutiae. However, I feel that huge breakthroughs or at least new patterns of thinking can be acheived by looking at an existing problem with an eye towards knowledge learned from even seemingly unrelated areas. </p><p>Maybe <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://geekdom.social/@FantasticalEconomics" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>FantasticalEconomics</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@resl" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>resl</span></a></span> or you might have some input at how all of this might be applied towards the previously mentioned goal of a worldwide economic revolution.
