Problem Solving in Grad School

[caedar]

Recently I watched Adam Savage's talk on problem solving, and I tried to adapt it to the issues we face as scientists. I've posted it up on my blog (shameless plug but it's rather long so I'd rather not clutter up another topic with it), and wanted to know if anybody had other thoughts or ideas about the problem solving process as a graduate student.

Thanks for the link. I'm always interested in improving my problem solving skills so I found it interested and I'm watching the talk too. I would suggest that the tips you listed aren't just related to people in science and that most (if not all) people doing research could benefit from them.
