But at the cutting edge, scientists no longer claim this.
This is an even bigger issue in R&D, where to remain at the cutting edge, each scientist has a compelling need to keep abreast of technological advances.
Using a huge bank of rice varieties stored in the Philippines along with cutting edge Chinese technology, scientists have completed the DNA sequencing of more than 3,000 of the most significant types of rice.
The other is the debut of cutting edge technology that scientists hope could one day transform the lives of millions of people.
In the field of regenerative medicine, firms need to have access to cutting edge research, as the scientists introduce new ideas and have the personal level networks needed for generating funding and establishing a start-up (Murray 2004; Prescott 2011).
Furthermore, it realises a streamlined cost effective network, ensuring tissue visibility and accessibility thereby improving the availability of large amounts of samples of highly specific or rare tumour types as well as providing contact opportunities for collaboration between scientists with cutting edge technology and tissue collectors.
So there's something for our scientists at the cutting edge to work on".
In Angels and Demons, one of the most important scientists involved in cutting edge physics research happens to be a Catholic priest.
The role of data scientist is at the cutting edge of the big data revolution.
The article compares the situation of life scientists competing at the cutting edge in the United States and several Asian countries.
Computer scientists working at the cutting edge of hardware and software performance also need another quality: flexibility.
