Problem Choice and Decision Trees in Science and Engineering

MABBI – Research conducted by Michael A.Fischbach from Stanford University entitled Problem choice and decision trees in science and engineering
Scientists and engineers often spend days choosing a problem and years solving it. This imbalance limits impact. Here, we offer a framework for problem choice: prompts for ideation, guidelines for evaluating impact and likelihood of success, the importance of fixing one parameter at a time, and opportunities afforded by failure.
