Re: Hard vs soft science?

(Anonymous) 2013-09-28 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
I had the opposite problem, once upon a time, with some people on the softer side of the social sciences picking on those of us on the harder side of the social sciences (but still in the social sciences) because apparently using things biology and math in your work constitutes a betrayal of human... complexity... creativity... something. I don't know.

All I can advise is to make as big a deal of this experience as you can on your CV, bring it up in interviews and in any inquiries you make, and keep an ear to the ground for more opportunities like this so you can jump in and ask to be a part of it right away. Don't wait to be invited. Worse case scenario, they say no and you are no worse off than if you had never asked. Try to forge some lasting connections with these engineers and any other folks you meet in the hard sciences. If you are really ambitious, you could even try to form some kind of soft/hard science group dedicated to fostering connections between disciplines and discussing how thy can help each other. It could be like a semi-soft cheese of science!
