My wife said to me yesterday "How do I use a QR Code?". Keep in mind, she's a civil engineer and one of the smartest people I know. I said "In what context?" because really, I didn't know either. "I have to scan this QR code if I go to my office. It's apparently posted at the door, and will let them know I've been there, for contact tracing." After a lot of playing around, we finally found out her phone's camera coul…
It sounds like you aren't a fan of the way this QR code was used. I went to a restaurant the other day and it had one of those Coke Freestyle soda machines. There was a QR code on the screen which I scanned with my phone. This opened a website with drink choices. I put my cup under the dispenser and pushed the Barq's Root Beer button on the website on my phone which dispensed the drink from the machine. I was impress…
Is the breadth of knowledge related to cross domain discoveries?
I would say bringing narrow skills like management or IT or marketing to a company is what you want to aim for.
I'm not convinced cross domain issues exist at rates higher than internal domain issues. I think they are orders of magnitude lower.
Frances Arnold, 2018 Nobel laureate for Chemistry, pioneered the use of directed evolution, which she conceived as an iterative lab process, to create enzymes with improved and/or novel functions, e.g. bacteria that produce the biofuel isobutanol.

That's not really an unrelated field - thats just bioengineering and synthetic biology. Thats one of the more chemistry related chemistry novels in recent times actually, since the lack of a biology nobel has led to so many biology breakthroughs getting shoved into chemistry instead that its become a bit of a running joke. This year is no exception with CRISPR being looped under chemistry even though it woupd make th…

Yes, it is bioengineering. What Arnold brought to synthetic biology is an engineer's approach to iterative process. Rather than designing a new enzyme at the molecular level, Arnold constructed a process that would yield the design for her.

Wouldn’t pressing a button on a machine be easier?
