Slow Science is part of the broader Slow Movement. It is based on the belief that science should be a slow, steady, methodical process, and that scientists should not be expected to provide "quick fixes" to society's problems. Slow Science supports curiosity-driven scientific research and opposes performance targets.
Famous quotes containing the words slow and/or science:
