Description
Which came first, the disciplines or the departments?
Science is a dynamic, organized, and massively parallel
human endeavor to discover, explain, and predict the nature
of the physical world. In science, researchers build new
ideas upon old ideas as ideas flow from researcher to
researcher. Since the pattern of interactions between
scientists affects this flow, networks affect the constant
change scientific research undergoes as fields grow and
shrink, merge and split, and ultimately change the
architecture of universities. Or is it the other way around?
