There is one extremely obvious thing that scientists can do (hopefully no
one said this already and I missed it)...LEARN ABOUT IMPLEMENTATION.
Through many well-meaning, intelligent posts, I have noticed a consistent
trail off after the idea part of the discussion. Yes, economics,
government processes and social sciences are boring for most, but these
are the disciplines that should be guiding the formation of research ideas
and they are what comes after the science (if not more integrated than
that), if it is not going to sit on the shelf. Every coral scientist
(assuming they want to *do* something) should be well-versed in these
areas AND able to justify their work within the context of actually
putting it to use, because the scientists are responsible for positioning
their work for implementation.
Happy New Year everyone!!
Warmest,
Shanee
