Have you heard of the field of translational medicine? I've found it a tremendously helpful analogy for my own work. The field focuses specifically on trying to turn basic science discoveries into possible paths for clinical application. This is a useful idea in many fields! 1/5

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
