AGENDA
AND MINUTES
1. Updates:
- MH paper. No news.
- Women in space project. Lit. search in progress. Problem statement: discuss the proportion, how it changes over time, and future predictions based on the trend.
- VJB research. Away visiting relatives.
- Congratulations to RS for moving his edited book forward. It is about bioinformatics.
- PT research. Continuing with systematic literature review, expect to finish in a week or two, tentatively.
- Financials.
- FTC reimbursement. No news.
- Anything else? No
2. Reading and
discussion:
- de Alcantara and Martens 2019. We finished
up to the paragraph beginning "In cluster 2" on p. 131, so we will start there next time.
- Future possibility: https://ourworldindata.org/technological-progress; Goldin
et al., The Productivity Paradox, 2019.
- James Pethokoukis, https://fasterplease.substack.com/, tech foresight blog by former Jeopardy! champ; Chad
Jones, https://web.stanford.edu/~chadj/,
writes about endogenous growth theory.
---------------------------------------Below
are some ideas for future discussion-------------------
- We found that the paper at
https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-40896-1_3 seems like a
good paper for us to read.
- MH suggests a short book called Future Spaceflight
Meditations, a cosmist perspective, by Jiulio Prisco, physicist formerly
with the ESA.
- MH suggests Pantelis Koutroumpis, The Productivity
Paradox, a report.
3. Background literature
update.
- Some interesting videos are at the Kartik Gada channel
such as at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuRX67CJhaOT98Jdjh85CEQ
which we discussed previously.
- For general reference here are some generic questions
about articles (and videos):
What is the source?
What is the most significant advance in the
human knowledge presented in the paper?
Why is that advance important?
What important questions arise from the paper
for future research?
What important questions would it be nice if the
paper answered, but does not answer?
What does the paper present that is novel (no
one else has provided that before)?
What is the relevance of the paper to our
satellite research goals?
Questions from the group?
