Are you curious?

Or to rephrase, are you interested, inquisitive and questioning? Asking many questions, challenging established truths, finding alternative solutions, makes us smarter and better researchers. In Harvard Business Review you can read about the “Surprising Power of Questions” (https://hbr.org/2018/05/the-surprising-power-of-questions)

The authors summarize that asking questions is a unique tool for learning and exchanging ideas. It makes conversations more productive, gives innovation better results and it builds trust in the organization. It can also uncover unforeseen dangers and pitfalls. Despite this, many of us probably do not think that asking questions is an art that can be developed and improved. By asking questions you improve your emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners. The article gives tips on how different questions should be used – “not all questions are created equal”.

As researchers and teachers, we can also become better at asking questions, we can learn more and I believe our research will be better – what is the question you want answered when you do an experiment, and what is your lab neighbour doing?

I hope you will be inspired to become more questioning and curious.

Have a good weekend

Finding & reusing research data

Leave a reply

Reusing research data can open new avenues of research and avoids unnecessary duplication of efforts.

Sharing and re-using quality-assured research data is considered good scientific practice. Most funders, e.g. Norwegian Research Council or Horizon Europe, and publishers require that the research data from a project is made openly available. Reusing these datasets as secondary data avoids unnecessary duplication of efforts and can inspire new avenues of research. For example, new questions or methods can be applied to a dataset, or data from different studies or disciplines can be integrated. In this webinar you will learn how you can use existing datasets as a resource for your research.

The webinar Friday 11 November will give an introduction to FAIR research data as a resource, explain data citation, and demonstrate strategies to efficiently discover datasets in your discipline.

UiB AI #4 Examples of Medical AI

Leave a reply

Join us for the fourth UiB AI meeting, where you will get examples from some of the most cutting edge research within Medical AI.

From dementia to personalized medicine. The use of artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly prevalent in medical research and will continue to push the boundaries of what medical research is, and can do.

In this seminar, you will get some highlights from medical AI research at the University of Bergen. We invite students and faculty members from different disciplines to learn more and engage in discussions about the use of artificial intelligence in medicine.
