Abstract
This chapter is about the Gap, a gap that faces us all—one in our understanding that is as deep as your misassumptions and my biases, one that is as wide as our cultural backgrounds and tendencies, one that is as pervasive and pernicious as everyone’s good, but poorly informed intentions. This chapter is about the millions of lives, billions of dollars, and entire careers of scientists that fall in the Gap. Western culture science has the technical knowledge to put poverty in museums, to eliminate cerebral malaria, and other global diseases vectored by insects, and to eliminate stunting that affects 40% of the children in parts of the world, and yet, we have not accomplished this. Why not? Because as scientists most of us have not seen the gap, and so we do not manage our research to address this gap. Some scientists see the gap, but do not have the skills to bridge the gap. WHY?
