1/ I'm sure the STS folks can say this better but, Single-author papers or projects aren't interdisciplinary. They can't be.

I want to disagree. Consider my recent paper: https://twitter.com/kaznatcheev/status/1102973539634892800 … Would you call this not interdisciplinary? Why? I think interdisciplinary work is very hard, and we often fall short of it. Regardless of the composition of our team. But I want to imagine it is achievable.

Can hide winding paths. http://www.genetics.org/content/early/2019/03/04/genetics.119.302000 … My path to this paper has been very long: ~7 years in the making. It finally found its peak in@GeneticsGSA. pic.twitter.com/LiYdL9elc8Show this thread2 replies 2 retweets 3 likes -

So, I'm not going to defend my position too strongly because it's not that far from a hot take, but,https://twitter.com/generativist/status/1111777710102052864 …

💥 (wannabe) Ƀreaker of (the Bad) Loops 💫 @generativistReplying to @vbentiiYea, I think that's part of it... At least my perception of interdisciplinary *has been* "I'm an expert in this and that." But, I think it's better thought of as "what I study lies partly here and partly there." A bit hand-wavy, but...hey, this is a hot take ;)2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

So, I absolutely *would* call your work interdisciplinary. But, I mostly wish there was a different word. Like, if you're able to do it well as a single author, I think it says something about the disciplinary boundaries that demands emphasis.

I don't know what that word is. And, I'm not even sure I'm right about the distinction. But, it's related to my issue with,https://twitter.com/generativist/status/1111775530762690560 …
