Those Who Will Not Learn From History...

Abstract :
I still firmly believe that computing has the potential to revolutionize science. But I also believe that if we don´t learn from past efforts to make it part of mainstream scientific education, this potential will go unrealized. Focusing on everyday skills might not give university presidents something to issue a press release about, but they´ll have more impact on the quality of computational science in the coming decade than anything else we can do.
