Download or read book Bridges to Independence written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-08-26 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rising median age at which PhD's receive their first research grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is among the factors forcing academic biomedical researchers to spend longer periods of time before they can set their own research directions and establish there independence. The fear that promising prospective scientists will choose other career paths has raised concerns about the future of biomedical research in the United States. At the request of NIH, the National Academies conducted a study on ways to address these issues. The report recommends that NIH make fostering independence of biomedical researchers an agencywide goal, and that it take steps to provide postdocs and early-career investigators with more financial support for their own research, improve postdoc mentoring and establish programs for new investigators and staff scientists among other mechanisms.

Download or read book Advice for a Young Investigator written by Santiago Ramon Y Cajal and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004-02-27 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anecdotal guide for the perplexed new investigator as well as a refreshing resource for the old pro, covering everything from valuable personality traits for an investigator to social factors conducive to scientific work. Santiago Ramón y Cajal was a mythic figure in science. Hailed as the father of modern anatomy and neurobiology, he was largely responsible for the modern conception of the brain. His groundbreaking works were New Ideas on the Structure of the Nervous System and Histology of the Nervous System in Man and Vertebrates. In addition to leaving a legacy of unparalleled scientific research, Cajal sought to educate the novice scientist about how science was done and how he thought it should be done. This recently rediscovered classic, first published in 1897, is an anecdotal guide for the perplexed new investigator as well as a refreshing resource for the old pro. Cajal was a pragmatist, aware of the pitfalls of being too idealistic—and he had a sense of humor, particularly evident in his diagnoses of various stereotypes of eccentric scientists. The book covers everything from valuable personality traits for an investigator to social factors conducive to scientific work.

Download or read book Searching Out Loud Giving Voice to Independent Investigations Complete Works written by Marc Solomon and published by Digital Information Literacy. This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Searching Out Loud is a digital age information and media literacy text book for independent investigators, researchers, consultants, educators, and any lifelong learner whose curiosity is matched only by their rejection of unquestioning assumptions. The concept of a "search book" is that... everyone searches, no one likes to search, and we put our faith in algorithms to complete our thoughts. This book is intended for someone who "produces" research as a scientist/academic, investigator/journalist, and/or consultant/legal professional. These are folks who are rewarded for their independence: Drawing conclusions supported by evidence, not a predetermined outcome. They convey intent just fine without the algorithms. The first two units instruct readers on how to locate, evaluate, and use online information in their evidence-based investigations. In units three and four we apply source knowledge and fact-finding to the perspective-taking needed to interpret how that same information is created, shaped, and presented. Understanding the motives of the provider is critical to any web-based investigation. It's also core to the content analysis of social media we now stream with fewer assumptions and a more critical eye for inspection. What ends up in our search results and news feeds -- and why? Those are questions that fall outside the search box and squarely in these pages. So too do answers to research questions that begin with a conditional reflex like "it depends" and "how likely is likelier?" Searching Out Loud takes the exchange between researchers and search engines out of one-way conversations and into the realm of detective work. The bullhorn-like proclamation of the book's title suggests that searching is neither introspective nor restricted to a hushed confession-like disclosures between petitioners and their technological priests. Rather, forming questions, matching patterns, unscrambling mixed signals, weighing explanations, and questioning the assumptions they're based on can create quite a commotion! They pierce the silence of the screened-in user, opening the reader up to a transparent and repeatable way for us to engage colleagues, stakeholders, and even adversaries in the discovery, vetting, and integration of search results into our case work. For starters, the book shows readers how to place their own assumptions, intuitions, and curiosities above the commercial and often veiled interests of big search and social media. This distinction is key towards ensuring the integrity of the researcher and the independence of the investigator. So too, the nature of virtual investigations poses challenges to the collection and sense-making of an evidence trail formed through Internet-based research. There's nothing "plug and play" about composing and presenting case narratives gathered through the non-linear web. Our use cases enlist an interwoven dynamic of open source intelligence from trade directories, social news aggregators, and public records to academic archives, and specialty collections, many that escape search engine detection. The Knowledge Continuum is one of many unique and practical frameworks for imposing sequential order on an otherwise unstructured and meandering nature of digital fact-finding and evidence-gathering. Additionally the principles of Search Project Management are used to package this evidence into the searching, capture, and sense-making that precedes a Knowledge-ABLED outcome: calling our stakeholders to action through our research methods and final presentation.

Download or read book The Investigator written by Terry Lenzner and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Los Angeles Times once called investigative lawyer Terry Lenzner “one of the most powerful and dreaded private investigators in the world.” In his fifty-year career, Lenzner has worked with politicians, celebrities, governments, and corporations worldwide; with a steadfast commitment to the truth, he has uncovered facts that have shaped policy and influenced major legal battles. In this captivating memoir, Lenzner speaks about his varied career and high-profile cases for the first time. At the Justice Department in 1964, he investigated the murder of three civil rights workers—an infamous event that inspired the film Mississippi Burning. He led the national Legal Services Program for the poor, prosecuted organized crime in New York, defended peace activist Philip Berrigan, and represented CIA operative Sid Gottlieb. As a counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee, Lenzner investigated Nixon’s dirty tricks and followed the money trail that led to the Watergate burglary and cover-up. He was the first person to deliver a congressional subpoena to a sitting U.S. president. He uncovered cost overruns of the Alaska oil pipeline, helped identify the Unabomber, investigated the circumstances of Princess Diana’s death, and cleared Hugo Chavez of false corruption charges. Lenzner also worked with President Clinton’s defense team during the impeachment hearings. The Investigator is a riveting personal account: Lenzner astounds with anecdotes of scandal and intrigue, offers lessons in investigative methods, and provides an eye-opening look behind some of the most talked-about media stories and world events of our time.

From the hostile weather and the fickle hospitality at Hotel Hope to the town's bewildering inhabitants, everything seems to be against him to the point where he wonders whether he is trapped in a recurring nightmare, or has passed into the realm of death itself. Cold, hungry and humiliated, and always one step behind, he nevertheless remains determined to find the only man he can hold to account - The Firm's legendary but elusive founder. The Investigation is an enthralling fable in which our own world is turned on its head, and where the only answers are more questions.
