要训练科学通才吗？
Should We Train Scientific Generalists?
摘要：
我研究的主题是培养科学通才。为了集中讨论，我建议建立一个新的研究生课程，类似于现有的MD/博士课程的结构，旨在培养大量的科学研究人员与大量的智力广度。除了完成博士学位的正常要求外，学生还将接受为期数年的密集培训，旨在使他们接触研究生水平多个学科的核心词汇。在为这个提议提供了一些历史和哲学背景之后，我概述了这样一个计划如何在现有研究型大学很少的机构开销的情况下实施。最后，我讨论了利用在线学习和开放科学的当代发展来培训通才的其他可能性。
英文摘要：
I examine the topic of training scientific generalists. To focus the discussion, I propose the creation of a new graduate program, analogous in structure to existing MD/PhD programs, aimed at training a critical mass of scientific researchers with substantial intellectual breadth. In addition to completing the normal requirements for a PhD, students would undergo an intense, several year training period designed to expose them to the core vocabulary of multiple subjects at the graduate level. After providing some historical and philosophical context for this proposal, I outline how such a program could be implemented with little institutional overhead by existing research universities. Finally, I discuss alternative possibilities for training generalists by taking advantage of contemporary developments in online learning and open science.
