So mentorship is one big thing I encourage - having successful, relatable examples is critical.
Although GO can serve as a good basis for a functional gold standard, effective mapping from organism-specific annotations to a set of positive and negative examples is critical.
Many serious players of brass instruments, for example, are critical because they think the artificial sound is deceptively good through the headset, providing a false sense of quality.
Understanding the causes and degree of anisotropy, for example, are critical for depth conversion, imaging, fluid identification (e.g. AVO) and dynamic Poisson's ratio.
Comparison with the standard level set reinitialization algorithm shows ours is superior in terms of predictability and local construction, which, for example, are critical in local level set methods.
Climate models are constructed with two types of essential building blocks: physical, chemical, and biological laws founded on theory (the laws of thermodynamics and Newton's laws of motion, for example, are critical to understanding circulation) and data collected from observation.
Skin-to-skin contact for newborns, for example, is critical to their development, research shows.
"Setting the example is critical, with humility and modesty," he said.
Sometimes it has worked: defence spending, for example, was critical to the early development of computers, semiconductors and the internet.
Ecology, for example, is critical for understanding conservation, biodiversity issues, global climate change, human alterations of the environment, and the impact of pollutants on ecological systems.
