In every topic, whether scientific or otherwise, sometimes even pop culture wise, you're having point and counterpoint and the weight between them is shaped by public opinion and or success on social media.

How's that going?

Two steps forward, one step back.

Still a good strategy.

It's hard.

It's not natural.

Also, when we think about research and we think about understanding, we come from a place of humility.

I think that's how you have to approach learning, that there's so much you don't know.
