The webpage titled "You and Your Research" is a transcription of a seminar given by Dr. Richard W. Hamming. The seminar focuses on why only a few scientists make significant contributions while many are forgotten. Hamming shares his observations and research on the properties of individual scientists, their working habits, attitudes, and philosophy. He emphasizes the importance of working on important problems, being committed and courageous, and having a prepared mind. Hamming also discusses the significance of clear communication, the ability to sell one's ideas, and the value of working on broader problems rather than isolated ones.
