So I don't actually think about big failures very much.
Well, of course, that could be.
But sometimes those who dwell on failure learn something different.
really really hard and really important so there's probably some sweet spot right to work hard at a problem and achieve it or give up and move on to the next thing and sometimes you have to do one sometimes you have to do the other
No, never.
I took advantage of it because scientists, just like everybody else,
want people to listen to them.
Every scientist is working hard to solve a problem, and we love talking about it.
Even the people who are shy love talking about it.
And if you go out, say, to a conference and you give a talk and nobody comes, that's kind of sad, isn't it?
Well, I was an oddity.
And so people, when I walked in the room, they'd sit up and say, oh my goodness, who's this?
And they would listen to me.
And I just made sure that the first words that came out of my mouth caught their attention and they would stay to listen more.
So I took advantage of this oddity that I was to get in front of people with my ideas.
What is your philosophy on that?
My philosophy is that scientists need to tell a story.
It doesn't have to be embellished.
It doesn't have to be hyperbolic.
But it should be a story that captures the attention of the audience.
