This talk, is part of the MIT Program on Information Science brown bag series (http://informatics.mit.edu) A competitive scientific workforce is essential for the health and well-being of a society. However, U.S. dominance in the global knowledge economy has been challenged in recent years: the U.S. is outspent by China (in terms of R&D funding) and out-produced by the EU (in terms of doctoral graduates and scientific publications). Furthermore, gender inequalities persist, with men producing more scientific articles than women in every state. From Dr. Ni, "I argue that, for a country to be scientifically competitive, it must maximize its human intellectual capital-base and support this workforce equitably and efficiently. I propose here a large-scale and heterogeneous analysis of the sociality, equality, and dynamicity of the scientific workforce through novel computational models for understanding and predicting the career trajectory of scientists based on their transformative interactions, gender, and levels of funding. This analysis will be able to isolate factors that contribute to the health and well-being of the scientific workforce. The computational models will quantify the impact of those transformative events and interactions and provide models to predict the career trajectory of scientists based on their gender, the size and position of the social network, and other demographic factors." Chaoqun Ni got her Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in E-Commerce and Information System from Wuhan University, and Doctoral Degree in Information Science from Indiana University in Bloomington. Chaoqun Ni's research has appeared in a variety of computer science, informatics, library, and scientific publications, including Nature, Scientometrics, Journal of Association for Information Science and Technology, and Simmons SLIS' Library and Information Science Research. In addition to receiving a Dean's Fellowship from the Department of Information & Library Science at Indiana University Bloomington, Ni received the Association for Information Science and Technology's New Leader Award in 2011, and the Association for Library and Information Science Education Doctoral Student Award in 2014.

There are some motivational elements for publishing. These elements are important for young researchers and faculty members. We should also keep in mind the quality indices such as h-index or impact factor associated with publications.

It has become imperative to conduct funded research in today's highly resource constrained landscape of higher education. We must understand the attributes of research the mindset of researcher and the requirements of funded research.

This note describes our analysis of 35 papers from CHI 2011 that aim to improve or support interaction design practice. In our analysis, we characterize how these CHI authors conceptualize design practice and the types of contributions they propose. This work is motivated by the recognition that design methods proposed by HCI researchers often do not fit the needs and constraints of professional design practice. As a complement to the analysis of the CHI papers we also interviewed 13 practitioners about their attitudes towards learning new methods and approaches. We conclude the note by offering some critical reflections about how HCI research can better support actual design practice.
