How to Become a Disruptive Scientist is a practical guide for researchers who want to rethink how science is done and help shape its future. It bridges the worlds of academic research and startup innovation, offering a clear framework and set of tools for those ready to move beyond business-as-usual in science.

The book emerged from the shared insight of a geophysicist and a tech entrepreneur: while startups have structured methods for driving disruption, scientists are often left to pursue breakthrough ideas without similar support. Drawing on lessons from entrepreneurship, cognitive science, and innovation management, the book presents a tested methodology developed through hands-on work with both scientists and students across disciplines.

Designed for academic researchers at every stage, it provides the mindset and strategies needed to develop original ideas, challenge conventions, and make a meaningful impact through science.
