What suggestions would you have for efficiently learning the modes of thinking from different fields? This seems important since different fields (and even different researchers) look at problems differently (often due to the nature of the subject e.g. physics vs. biology vs. computer science). Some elements of intuition seem universal but others seem to be emphasized in one field or another.
While summary articles are good for the content they don’t seem suited to learning how experts think about their classes of problems, similarly journal articles often obscure the intuitions and thought process which led to the conclusions by presenting only a polished conclusion. Developing intuition and thinking techniques seems to need seeing actual practitioners writing their thought, have you found good methods of doing so?
