On transfer: I think my time-to-failure professor harped on that a lot. We would go over how something worked in an industrial reliability setting (how long until this machine breaks under different maintenance schedules) and then she would challenge us to design an experiment on people using the same technique (how long until remission of a cancer under different treatment strategies). Since you can't do the same things to people as you can to machines (run them at 200% speed for a week) designing human trials was pretty interesting.
