		<description><![CDATA[I visited one of my scientific mentors last week and she gave me this advice: Become an expert in two areas. We did not pursue the topic further, discussing particular areas of materials research, for example, but her words remained in my thoughts after the visit. Being knowledgeable in two areas certainly gives me more [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.saadhasan.com&amp;blog=6803264&amp;post=97&amp;subd=nanobysaad&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This sentiment is the key point of an essay by Martin Schwartz that I found. Titled &#8220;The importance of stupidity in scientific research,&#8221; the piece explains that unless one truly delves into the unknown (thus feeling &#8220;stupid&#8221;) it is not possible to achieve great, groundbreaking discoveries. Productive stupidity means being ignorant by choice.  Focusing on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.saadhasan.com&amp;blog=6803264&amp;post=91&amp;subd=nanobysaad&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not an article, but an essay: Hearts and minds and nanotechnology. Nature Nanotechnology 4, 136 (2009). The timing of this piece&#8217;s publication, a week after I started my blog, could not have been more appropriate.  In my first post I wrote, &#8220;writing&#8230; about nanotechnology will be of even greater importance as the science makes its way [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.saadhasan.com&amp;blog=6803264&amp;post=67&amp;subd=nanobysaad&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Writing a Paper&#8221; by George Whitesides is fantastically useful. Only three pages long, it is a succinct guide to writing a cogent, coherent article from the questions, experiments, and data that are swirling in your mind. The central message is to formulate, early in the life of a project, an outline to direct your thoughts and data collection. &#8220;No [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.saadhasan.com&amp;blog=6803264&amp;post=25&amp;subd=nanobysaad&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
