Rezension

"Although it does not reveal a prescriptive path for interdisciplinary work, for our group, this volume served as a valuable catalyst for thinking about interdisciplinary research. We look forward to future conversations that build on Öberg's examples of how to navigate problem-oriented, interdisciplinary research." ( The Quarterly Review of Biology , 1 September 2012)
