Abstract
It is no surprise that in a world dominated by business models and bottom lines that talk of interdisciplinarity is on the rise in science, as we are increasingly encouraged to be innovative through collaboration that ‘leverages’, ‘exploits’, and ‘optimizes’ resources. If you have not already heard these words around your workplace, you probably soon will. In fact, interdisciplinarity is now being studied as a scientific phenomenon in its own right1 as scientists and organizations struggle to figure out how to be—well, interdisciplinary.
