Hard to Find: Discovery and the Science of Science

Mesofacts:

have an article in this Sunday's Ideas section of the Boston Globe entitled Hard to find: Why it's increasingly difficult to make discoveries - and other insights from the science of science. It discusses a scientific paper of mine published recently in Scientometrics, which is the journal of the "science of science". The journal article entitled Quantifying the Ease of Scientific Discovery (also freely available on the arXiv), discusses how to think mathematically about how scientific discovery becomes more difficult over time.
