摘要

当科学家进行有意义的合作时,生态学和进化研究就会受益。然而,为这些努力腾出时间是很困难的,特别是对于那些经常专注于独立和自我驱动的研究项目的早期研究生来说。在这里,我们介绍Research Derby的概念,这是一个协作和半竞争的研讨会,团队有24小时的时间来完成一个研究项目。这种“高压锅”环境旨在为科学家提供一个有趣的短期机会,在他们的主要领域之外进行研究,促进研究小组内部的技能交流,并最终产生高质量的科学出版物。在这份手稿中,我们概述了研究德比的目标,解释了如何建立这样一个事件,并叙述了我们在西蒙弗雷泽大学,本拿比,不列颠哥伦比亚省,加拿大的研究小组内运行德比的经验。我们认为,研究德比有潜力实现创造性和合作性的高影响力科学,是一项有趣和富有成效的研究活动。

The ‘Research Derby’: A pressure cooker for creative and collaborative science
Ecology and evolution research benefits when scientists engage in meaningful collaborations. However, making time for such efforts is difficult, particularly for early-career graduate students who are often focused on an independent and self-driven research program. Here, we introduce the concept of the Research Derby, a collaborative and semi-competitive workshop where teams are given 24 hours to complete a research project. This ‘pressure-cooker’ environment is designed to give scientists a fun and short-term opportunity to conduct research outside their primary field, promote skills exchange within the research group, and ultimately produce high-quality scientific publications. In this manuscript we outline the goals of the Research Derby, explain how to set up such an event, and recount our experiences running a Derby within our research group at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C., Canada. We argue that Research Derbies have the potential to achieve creative and collaborative high-impact science, and are a fun and productive research activity.
