Journal of Translational Medicine 2011 9 128 http content 9 1 128 JOURNAL OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE COMMENTARY Open Access Science that knows and science that asks Pierre R Smeesters1 Marie Deghorain1 and Andrew C Steer2 Abstract Clinician-researchers and experimental scientists do not speak the same language they have different professional environments and different end-points in their research. This creates considerable problems of comprehension and communication which constitute a major drawback in multidisciplinary work such as translational medicine. A stereotypic representation of both these worlds is presented as a starting point to encourage debate on this issue. Introduction To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions both dispense with the necessity of reflection. Henri Poincaré Recent progress in biomedical sciences and technology such as advances in meta genomics molecular biology and bioinformatics have radically transformed biomedical research such that multidisciplinary collaborations are often needed 1 . At the same time multidisciplinary and translational research has become a global research priority and is preferentially considered by many funding agencies 1 . Translation of basic scientific progress into clinical output is certainly an excellent objective. For this translation to be realised as well-funded scientific projects 2-5 there is a well identified need to improve the communication and the relationship between basic experimental scientists mostly PhDs and clinicians MDs 6 . However the education and daily life of these two actors have not really changed over time and continue to be driven by different pressures. In the next two paragraphs a stereotypic representation of both the clinician-researchers and experimental scientists will be presented as exaggerated examples in order to stimulate discussion. Physicians face a long drawn out and difficult .
