A shame because like many of us, I firmly believe we are in dire need of this kind of thinking to advance beyond circular and fad based stuff.

Indeed unfortunately interdisciplinarity seems to only get lip service as you're (as a PhD researcher, for sure) discouraged from it and pushed to specialise implicitly or otherwise + id work not funded as much.

Yes. I've sometimes thought, for these reasons, that true 'with-person' interdisciplinarity almost impossible. Instead, you need excellent environments to bring together specialists on interdisciplinary topics (see,

This is limited too, as without some actual generalists, I think collaboration can only get you so far. Very tricky and little existing training, infrastructure, or incentive (grantwise, intellectually it's a pleasure)

I've been thinking about this issue in medicine as well. We need to be more open to changes in the structure of disciplines as we learn how they interact

Academia is most of the time stacked, too afraid to move forward, to risk the little it has.

Yes, and people like to specialize and don't like to be wrong. I've had old school neuroscientists tell me psychology isn't a thing.

30 years ago the mind and brain were seen as separate things and neuroscience sort of pretended the mind didn't matter

That's like saying you only care about hardware and software doesn't matter — I count my lucky stars I did CompSci undergrad sometimes.

My undergrad was engineering so some of psych history totally baffled me.
