There is a lot of ‘tradition’ with regards to ideas and approaches, which I feel can sometimes impede our ability to move science forward efficiently. I hope that initiatives to increase diversity and inclusion can alter this trajectory, making space for a more holistic, flexible and nuanced approach to advancing knowledge.

There’s a lot of exciting science out there, but for it to be useful for society, it needs to be translated into accessible technology that can be commercialised,” says Jin. Though we work long and sometimes unsociable hours, we have a good degree of flexibility. “I The other potential limitation is people.

To overcome this, they made the NEP dynamic and flexible so that it could be adapted depending on the age and interests of the students taking part. The liberal arts consist of the natural sciences, like biology, ecology and neuroscience, formal sciences, like physics and maths, social sciences, and the humanities.

But beginning a little more than a century ago there emerged the idea that one could build mathematics purely from formal axioms, without necessarily any reference to what is accessible to sensory experience. But observers like us can only “access” a certain type. And in a way our Physics Project begins from a similar place.

But he had a second hypothesis too—based, he said, on the ideas of “that most ingenious gentleman, Monsieur Descartes”: that instead air consists of “flexible particles” that are “so whirled around” that “each corpuscle endeavors to beat off all others”. Planck’s book came in a sense from the Clausius tradition.

But the lesson of the past several hundred years of science is that there are things that can be figured out by formal processes, but aren’t readily accessible to immediate human thinking. In the future, will there be fundamentally better ways to train neural nets—or generally do what neural nets do? Almost certainly, I think.
