The discoveries that most influence the way we think about nature seldom can be anticipated, and frequently the applications for new technologies developed to probe a specific characteristic of nature are also seldom clear, even to the inventors of these technologies. One thing is clear: Seldom are such advances made by individuals alone. Rather, they result from the progress of the scientific community asking questions, developing new technologies to answer those \u0026nbsp;questions and sharing their results and their ideas with others. However, \u0026nbsp;there are indeed research strategies that can substantially increase the probability of one\u0027s making a discovery. Osheroff will illustrate some of these strategies in the context of a number of well-known discoveries, including the work he did as a graduate student, for which he shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1996.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDoug Osheroff, professor of physics at Stanford University and a Nobel Laureate in Physics, will present a lecture on \u0022How Advances in Science Are Made.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Doug Osheroff, professor of physics at Stanford University and a Nobel Laureate in Physics, will present a lecture on \u0022How Advances in Science Are Made.\u0022"}],"uid":"27445","created_gmt":"2012-01-31 12:49:55","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:57:48","author":"Amelia Pavlik","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2012-02-13T17:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2012-02-13T18:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2012-02-13T18:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2012-02-13 22:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2012-02-13 23:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2012-02-13 23:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.stanford.edu\/dept\/physics\/people\/faculty\/osheroff_douglas.html","title":"Doug Osheroff"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.physics.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech School of Physics"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"19281","name":"advances in science"},{"id":"19271","name":"Doug Osheroff"},{"id":"19261","name":"Nobel Prize winner"},{"id":"960","name":"physics"},{"id":"166937","name":"School of Physics"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:alison.morain@physics.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EAlison Morain\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESchool of Physics\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
