Chemistry Needed: Synthetic Biology as a New Incentive for Interdisciplinary

摘要

Interdisciplinary research has been one of the great promises for decades, In fact, being interdisciplinary has not necessarily helped each and every young scientist in building his or her career, as many faculties, at least within Europe, still believe in traditional trajectories and canonical disciplinary knowledge. However, when writing research grant proposals, or for publishing in journals with a large outreach, interdisciplinarity is clearly beneficial, and raises great expectations of innovation and groundbreaking new insights.
