More than that, Eagleman ignores something that is central to modern science: meta-analysis, a set of tools for weighing and combining evidence.
The danger is that, by identifying this as 'excellence', it damns everything else, including applied science, user-driven innovation, open science, meta-analysis, regulatory science, social innovation and engagement with policymakers and the public, to mediocrity.
In hydrological science, meta-heuristics such as ACO, GAs, PSO, SA, and TS are used in various sub-disciplines.
In land science, meta-analytic studies often focus on drivers of land cover change [ 110,111], whereas far fewer studies document the drivers of agricultural intensification [ 66].
In spite (or perhaps because) of this, they helped to provide the blueprint for analytical philosophy of science as meta-theory a "second-order" reflection of "first-order" sciences.
Before you write me off as some unenlightened lughead, if you haven't already, you should know I take a great interest in science and meta-physics.
The work will advance the science of conducting Meta-study reviews by rigorously executing its steps in the context of our research question and to document this process extensively in our final report.
We will collect Data (Polling, Big and Meta), political science, research, media buzz and our own survey of conventional thinking (which we disdain and never propagate) -- and feed it all into artisanal algorithms devised by our team of Brooklyn-based quant-lumbersexuals, who do this work for us before band practice.
Cybernetics was hyped as the new meta-science, which promised to unify knowledge across the boundaries separating the natural from the social sciences and the humanities, and as a technique for analysing internal processes of systems by exploring feedback loops, thus enabling people to estimate and somehow steer the future development of whole systems [39 Hagner; 97 Tanner].
Those who succeed will contribute to further broadening and changing the scope of organization design science and practice for meta-organizations.
He made significant contributions to philosophy of language, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of science, decision theory, epistemology, meta-ethics and aesthetics.
