This is something that society struggles with as a whole so its no surprise science is affected by it. People are often motivated by the money or fame they can get rather than making decisions that not just benefit themselves or their company but also society. The idea of bettering for society instead of just for money is becoming a more popular idea again so hopefully we will soon see that reflected in the science industry.

A great example of this is the space race. The world was competing to be the first on the moon. Many scientists joined the race while the people where helping to fund the tests and experiments. Because the world was focus on space so was science and because science was studying space the people wanted to help fund the science.

This is a very important question to be asking, and taking a look at history shows us why. During time periods where religion was the government science was viewed in a very poor light and thus little to no research was done. The more positive the society's view grew the more research was being done. Society and its view point on science greatly influence the scientific worlds ability to conduct research.

Not everything we see is true and having the motivation and will to fact check resources and question things you might have previously taken at face value is a good thing, it feeds your curiosity and you ability to do research and interpret evidence on your own.

Having the ability to have confidence in ones self is extremely important. Having to confidence to try new things to expand your learning and mindset allows you to broaden your horizons in a new way.

Having this mindset is extremely important especially when looking at data. Being able to step back and have an unbiased opinion will often lead to better and more constant results even outside of scientific investigations.

Being able to more deeply engage with the material allows the reader to optimize the amount of information they gain from the material.

Things don't always work out the first time and that's okay failing is you first attempt in learning. As long as you learn something even if its not working you've at least learned it doesn't work and you can adjust your strategy or approach to the task at hand.

Growing up every one always talks IQ this IQ that. Depending on your scores you kind of end up placed in this box with certain expectations being told its impossible to change the box you're in, but we all know that not true subconsciously because if you've ever been around children they are constantly learning and adapting their way of thinking and processing. We just need to embrace learning like young kids again and remember things don't always work out or make sense the first time and that is okay.

Having been a "gifted student" especially in math, college was a wake up call for me. In high school I didn't have to study for any of my classes because we spent longer time on the topics and it was more forgiving. In college the expectations of what a student learns and is able to reproduce is much higher, you can't just now what to do but why one has todo it that way. It was a hard hurdle to get over but I'm getting back on my feet and continuing the race.

There are many different methods to practice these two extremely important processes for memory. Brain dumps, talking with peers about the subject from memory, teaching others, flash cards etc. Using the different methods we can cover all types of material (notes, charts, oral) and preferred study methods.

Having the ability to recognize when something isn't working and being able to adjust is more than just a skill as a student but a life skill. You would keep working at a job that doesn't pay you enough, you would adjust and find a new job until you find one that works.

This is probably the most important step, its not just about evaluation how much more you've learned while studying but also evaluating and adjusting your study processes. Allowing you to study both more efficiently and effectively over time.
