...Today, Unraveling New Principles Of any system or process typically demands several smaller steps, each warranting publi- cation. The future practice of science will traverse smaller steps in parallel, through online cooperation between experts, each tackling smaller steps while continuously communicating findings to their collab- orators. This may be envisioned as skipping the stairs and, rather, taking an elevator. The result? Each paper will contain fewer questions and more answers. If communication truly erases distance in the scientific community, new fields are likely to emerge in the intersections between disciplines. Bridging the gaps between disciplines such as neu-roscience and psychology is one of the triumphs I personally hope to see happen. Again, communication is the key, and it may not come easily. The sharing of knowledge in a competitive world is perhaps the greatest challenge for we who are the next generation of scientists.
