There are tons and TONS of possibilities. It's an exciting research
area. A good bibliography is CHAOSBIB,
http://www.uni-mainz.de/FB/Physik/Chaos/chaosbib.html
Here's some good articles I'd suggest that are more than introductory,
but are still very readable:
A very nice, readable article about methods of measuring error in
simulations of chaotic systems is
@article {
CorlessErrorBackward,
author = "Robert M. Corless",
title = "Error Backward",
journal = "Contemporary Mathematics",
volume = 172,
year = 1994,
pages = "31-62"
}
My bias is towards my current research area on "shadowing" of chaotic
numerical trajectories, and one of the flagship articles on that subject is:
@article {
GHYS,
author = "Celso Grebogi and Stephen M. Hammel and James A. Yorke and Tim
Sauer",
title = {{Shadowing of Physical Trajectories in Chaotic Dynamics: Contai
nment and Refinement}},
journal = "Physical Review Letters",
volume = 65,
number = 13,
year = 1990,
month = "24 September",
pages = "1527-1530"
}

Subject: Call for Papers: SOCIOLOGIES OF CYBERSPACE
From: Ellis Godard
Date: Tue, 5 Nov 1996 15:34:07 GMT
(Please post or forward this notice elsewhere, as appropriate, for open
distribution.)
Call for Papers
SOCIOLOGIES OF CYBERSPACE
The board of the Virginia Review of Sociology invites the
submission of candidate chapters for a special volume titled "The
Sociologies of Cyberspace." This volume will address whether and to what
extent cyberspace represents, presents, or conduces social change of
significance - that is, the manners in which and the degrees to which
cyberspace is different from other social arenas, and whether and how
this is sociologically significant. For purposes of this volume, we
conceive cyberspace to include all forms of computer-mediated and
-enhanced communications and interactions.
We will give preference to those submissions that advance
methodological approaches to, explicitly account for empirical findings
about, and develop theoretical understandings of cyberspace. We are
particularly interested in papers that go beyond a psychological and
individualistic analysis, and particularly encourage those submissions
that make comparative use of several online services and/or social
groups. We hope to include a variety of empirical, methodological, and
theoretical approaches to cyberspace, and intend to emphasize the
possible diversity of such approaches.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to: patterns of
social life online, including demographic distributions as well as
patterns of social control, boundary enforcement, role enactment,
community building, resource allocation, and collective behavior;
political, economic, and other determinants of online social life; and
political, economic, religious, and other social consequences and
implications of cyberspace, particularly including interactions between
online and offline social life.
Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate, printed in double
spacing on only one side of each page. Citations and references should
conform to that system prescribed by and for the American Journal of
Sociology.
Comments and queries are welcomed and encouraged. For further
information, or to submit a paper, please contact the editor of the
volume J. Ellington ("Ellis") Godard, Cabell Hall 539, University of
Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22903 (jeg5s@virginia.edu). The
faculty advisor for this volume will be Thomas M. Guterbock, and the
series editor is Donald Black.
The Virginia Review of Sociology is a series of volumes
published by JAI Press, and coordinated and edited by the graduate
students and faculty of Sociology at the University of Virginia. Each
volume explores and reflects current empirical and theoretical
development within the field of sociology. Themes of previous volumes
have included law and conflict management, and cultural conflict in
modern America.

Hi. Bisource is the oldest recruitment firm in biotechnology.
I may have some insights. For one thing, I think happyness is
as much a function of the people, as the lab. Rather, it is a match
between the two. For example, if you are a PI who is a research czar,
and has a paper mill with little outlet for creativity, then you will
hire people who are happy with that.
An individual who either
a; needs to be independent or creative or
b; at the other endof the spectrum, need to be explicity
supervised
These will not be happy. The important quesiton you therefore missed is the
ability to selct happy people for a given situation, and whether or
not we are making the sorts of people happy we need to be in order to
best promote science. It also amazes me how values
will revolve around the need for a certain type of drone or whatever,
rather than calling a spade a spade, or dropping all facades and
admitting that we need an honest job done.

Marc Andelman
