Similar initiatives are under way elsewhere, such as the Krasnow Institute at the George Mason University in Virginia, not to mention longer-standing centres such as the Santa Fe Institute or Palo Alto Research Centre. Some foundations, such as the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, are also funding silo-busting research: one recent case from Sloan is an initiative to combine the work of marine biologists with computer programmers to create a sort of “Google fish system for tracking sea life.
其他机构也在采取类似的行动,比如弗吉尼亚州乔治梅森大学(George Mason University)的克拉斯洛高等研究院(Krasnow Institute),更别提圣达菲学院(Santa Fe Institute)或帕洛阿尔托研究中心(Palo Alto Research Center)等历史更悠久的研究中心了。有些基金会,比如阿尔福莱德·P·斯隆基金会(Alfred P. Sloan Foundation),也在资助打破藩篱方面的研究:该基金会最近的一个项目就是让海洋生物学家与计算机程序员进行合作,创建一种用于追踪海洋生物的“谷歌鱼(Google fish)系统。
Silo busting is spreading into institutional quarters as well. At the Bank of England, economists such as Andy Haldane have collaborated with zoologists such as Robert May to study financial stability. At Bristol University and Carnegie Mellon, researchers are studying the parallels between nuclear science and financial markets, in tandem with some military groups. At the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Long Island, there have recently been brainstorming sessions between statisticians, economists and medical researchers to develop innovative ways to measure and tackle cancer care. And these are just the examples I know of - countless others undoubtedly exist, too.
