In Defense of Depth: Slow Science for Sustainable Progress in Ecology and Evolution
Webinar by Yseult Héjja-Brichard as part of the SORTEE Workshop and Webinar Series, November 2024
In a time when scientific output is often measured by speed and quantity, the ecological and evolutionary sciences face growing pressure to deliver rapid results. However, the complexities of ecosystems and evolutionary processes demand more than quick conclusions-they require depth, patience, and long-term commitment. This talk advocates for the principles of slow science, a movement that emphasizes careful, deliberate research as the foundation for sustainable progress in our understanding of the natural world.
