The always excellent Brain Pickings blog reviews Ainissa Ramirez's Save Our Science: How to Inspire a New Generation of Scientists.   Full review is here.  Excerpt here:

"...we need to replace the traditional academic skills of “reading, ’riting, and ’rithmetic” with creativity, curiosity, critical-thinking, and problem-solving. (Though, as psychology has recently revealed, problem-finding might be the more valuable skill.)"

(Ed. note:  not sure "replace" is the correct verb)
