One key insight: this translation is *foundationally* interdisciplinary. With increasing specialization, it's often true that neither the relevant scientists nor the relevant clinicians/bioengineers can see a path to application on their own. They can only see together. 2/5

Translation suggests unidirectionality. Indeed, the field used to frame itself as "bench-to-bedside," suggesting that the bench produces ideas which the bedside consumes. But they later abandoned that framing, realizing it's a loop: contact with application informs the bench. 3/5pic.twitter.com/zhaeHYEnwV

I love that the field recognizes two distinct barriers: 1) translating basic science into possible drugs, diagnoses, etc; 2) translating clinical research into everyday practice. These are very different problems, and both must be solved to benefit patients. 4/5pic.twitter.com/R4PBzZ2aBd

I think lots of fields could use some "translational medicine"! As for my own work: I believe there are many powerful ideas in cognitive science desperately waiting for the same seeing-together insights, bench-to-bedside feedback loops, and concern for everyday practice. 5/5

Thanks Andy, the two-definitions part is thought-provoking, now I have to think of the “translations” between (1) neural science and learning/cognitive science (2) devising interventions and edu products (3) implementation in classroom in a more granular way

By the way, are you involved with the IEEE ICICLE?

Thank you!
@ehofer had once mentioned it after a lecture and I misremembered it as "translational scholar" and had never been able to find any reference to the term since.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
