For those of us who are occupied with the advancement of science as
learners or purveyors (or both), the stock-taking time of the New Year
might arouse the desire to pull back from the nose-to-the-ground daily
work and try to see the larger picture, how the way we currently do
science looks from a historical perspective and how it is evolving, a
view from Mars as it were.
So, for those of you who are so inclined, here is my perspective, a
critique developed over many years of the dominant way science is done,
and an example of how a program of training in agricultural science
might look after the revolution in science out of the dominant paradigm,
a revolution that is actually well under way in other fields of study:
