We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.

-M. McLuhan

The theme of tools is one that keeps coming up at Science Craft. We believe in teaching that provides tools to achieve goals rather than rules to be followed blindly. So when I came across this quote from Marshall McLuhan, it struck a chord.

Having the tools to write, analyze and present results efficiently and effectively has a profound impact on a researcher’s work. These tools contribute to a clearer understanding of their projects: After all, how can we effectively communicate what we don’t understand? This, in turn, shapes the researcher’s future work, as understanding of their field deepens.
