Slow Science

Slow Science

The Slow Science movement is part of the Slow movement. It is based on the idea that Science is a slow, steady, methodical process, and therefore should not be expected to provide "quick fixes". The Slow Science movement supports curiosity driven scientific research and opposes performance targets.
