"A superbbook, both inspiring and provocative. Braben strives to ensure the mostcreative scientists, if completely free to pursue unorthodox research,will aim to attain the ''elixir of civilization.''" --Dudley Herschbach, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 1986 " Scientific Freedom deals with an issue of great relevance to the world we live in: Howshould we ensure that scientific research is enabled to make thebreakthroughs that have characterized the last 100 years of science?Most certainly it is not by following the current rules of applying forgrants and being demanded to tell the grantors what you will discover.If we knew that already, it would not be a discovery. All scientists,granting agencies, and policy-makers should read this refreshing bookand respond to the need to change current funding paradigms." --Sir Richard J. Roberts, Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine 1993 "Whatis the recipe for scientific progress? Don Braben makes persuasivearguments that true innovation relies on freedom to innovate through thesupport of outstanding individuals. . . . He critiques existing sciencefunding mechanisms as stultifying and proposes an exciting andcompelling agenda to fund science." --Sir Steve Sparks, Vetlesen Prize 2015 "If any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable frommagic, how do we get there from here? By understanding the fundamentalrules that govern the universe and everything in it. We must ask thebiggest open-ended questions in science, and recognize that we are stillfar from knowing the answers. In this seminal book, Don Braben showsthat only scientific freedom can open up the way. It is needed now morethan ever. This book should be read by everyone who cares about our ownfuture." --Nick Lane, Michael Faraday Prize 2016 "Scientific Freedomis an important book: beautifully written, brimming with scholarship,and lightly spiced with Liverpudlian wit. . . . [It] is a book ofrevelations and revolutions. Scientific freedom is needed now as neverbefore." --Nigel R. Franks, University of Bristol "DonBraben''s suggested solution is a proven way to nurture a scientificelite without any of the baggage which modern-day usage of the word''elite'' brings." --John Dainton, University of Liverpool "Don Braben is an iconoclast. May this book inspire those who read it to lend their support to his vision." --Sir John Pendry, Kavli Prize in Nanoscience 2014 "I hope that this exciting book makes a significant impact on [the] future progress of academic research." --William C. Troy, University of Pittsburgh "Don Braben has been a tireless advocate for a system that redirectsthe administration of funded scientific research in the UK (andelsewhere). He offers cogent arguments why the current system, with itsemphasis on some relevance to the state''s economy, risks missingvaluable assets arising from transformative ''breakthroughs'' in manyresearch fields." --Robin Tucker, University of Lancaster

Synopsis
A radical and timely proposal for reinvigorating transformative scientific discovery. So rich was the scientific harvest of the early 20th century that it transformed entire industries and economies. Max Planck laid the foundation for quantum physics, Barbara McClintock for modern genetics, Linus Pauling for chemistry--the list goes on. In the 1970s, the nature of scientific work started to change. Increases in public funding for scientific research brought demands that spending be justified, a system of peer review that selected only the research proposals promising the greatest returns, and a push for endless short-term miracles instead of in-depth, boundary-pushing research. A vicious spiral of decline began. In Scientific Freedom , Donald W. Braben presents a framework to find and support cutting-edge, much-needed scientific innovation. Braben--who led British Petroleum's Venture Research initiative, which aimed to identify and aid researchers challenging current scientific thinking--explains: The conditions that catalyzed scientific research in the early 20th century The costs to society of our current research model The changing role of the university as a research institution How BP's Venture Research initiative succeeded by minimizing bureaucracy and peer review, and the program's impact The selection, budget, and organizational criteria for implementing a Venture Research program today. Even in the earliest stages, transformative and groundbreaking research can look unrecognizable to those who are accustomed to the patterns established by the past. Support for this research can, in fact, be low risk and offer rich rewards, but it requires rethinking the processes used to discover and sponsor scientists with groundbreaking ideas--and then giving those innovators the freedom to explore. First published in 2008, this new edition of Scientific Freedom includes over 30 redesigned charts and figures and a new foreword by Donald Braben.
