[Phys-L] Re: In the Private Universe



Then why do scientists spend so much time reading journal articles?
There has to be a balance between reading text, direct discussion,
measurement and calculation.

Au contraire, we need less textbooks and more active engagement.
Science is learned by scientists in discussion not by reading some
text, why would we expect more of our students.
