Problem selection in Science
The book 'A Prentice the Genius' narrates the journey of three or four generations of scientists, where each mentor passes their knowledge to the next, resulting in remarkable success. It reflects on the transfer of knowledge and the vital aspect of problem selection in science. The book emphasizes the challenge of choosing what scientific problems to work on, a task that arises multiple times and requires continual decision-making, unlike in the business realm where decisions may be more iterative.
