    Why Are Diversity and Collaboration in The Scientific

    Uploaded by

    Justin De Guino
    Diversity and collaboration in science are important for human flourishing in 5 key ways: (1) they balance possible biases, (2) stimulate problem solving, (3) facilitate specialization, (4) provide inspiration and motivation, and (5) allow for division of labor. Scientists benefit from different perspectives and working with others from various backgrounds broadens their thinking and helps address challenges from all sectors of society. While scientific research requires individual effort, collaboration is increasingly important as our knowledge expands into new intersections between fields that are too vast for any one person to tackle alone.

    Why are Diversity and

    Collaboration in the
    Scientific Community
    important towards
    Human Flourishing?
    Science as a Social Endeavour
    The process of science is flexible and may
    take many possible paths. Science is done by
    unique individuals without following a certain
    routine with motivation, ambition, and
    creativity. Many of them are passionate about
    their work and many of them are creative
    towards achieving their goals. Scientist do
    spend time working alone in their own lab,
    field, or at the computer but also in
    collaborating with other scientists to widen
    their perspective as a scientist.
    The following are the importance of
    diversity and collaboration in the scientific
    community towards human flourishing.
    1. Collaboration and diversity balance
    possible biases
    2. Diversity and collaboration stimulate
    problem solving
    3. Diversity and collaboration facilitate
    specialization
    4. Diversity and collaboration are
    inspiration and motivation
    5. Diversity and collaboration divide labor
    1. Collaboration and diversity balance
    possible biases
    Scientist benefits from other scientists
    and practitioners with different sets of
    beliefs, cultural background, and values
    to balance out the possible biases that
    might happen if science were practiced
    by a small group of humanity. Scientists
    should not be impartial but be objective
    in their assessments of scientific issues.
    2. Diversity and collaboration stimulate
    problem solving
    Two heads are better than one. Science
    benefits greatly from a community.
    Problems arise from different sectors of
    society. A diverse community is better able
    to generate new research methods,
    explanations and ideas, which can help
    science over challenging obstacles and shed
    new light on problems for the betterment of
    the society.
    3. Diversity and collaboration facilitate
    specialization
    Scientist have different strengths and
    different interests. Not only do people from
    different backgrounds choose to investigate
    different questions, but they may have
    different approaches in the same question.
    They may have different questions on a
    certain topic. They may have different
    respondents to validate their hypothesis. They
    have different methods that are based on
    their interests.
    4. Diversity and collaboration are
    inspiration and motivation
    Interactions in society encourage innovation
    and development of ideas about new lines of
    evidence, new applications, new questions, and
    alternate explanations about a technology.
    Some people are driven by the thrill of
    competition like the runners run faster,
    politicians campaign harder, and students study
    more for college exams when they know that
    they are competing against others. Scientists
    are not exempted.
    5. Diversity and collaboration divide labor
    Science is too wide for an individual on
    his or her own to handle. Collaborations and
    divisions of labor are increasingly important
    today, as our scientific understanding,
    techniques, and technologies expand. There
    is simply more to know than ever before and
    as we learn more about the world, more
    research is performed at the intersections of
    different fields.
    Scientific method gives a logical way
    on how to solve a problem and to
    improve our daily living, but science
    does not work alone. There should be
    a collaboration among individuals and
    have different ideas, drives,
    characteristics, motivations, culture
    and beliefs that help us to attain what
    we call “human flourishing”.
    THANK YOU!
