I think this is a great argument for encouraging STEAM instead of STEM. The inclusion of art (in his case, improve theatre) helped him out of that "stuck" place. Future students of his now have vocabulary and the knowledge that getting stuck happens and to fight their way out it. "Yes, and ..." is a great tool to keep an open mind and way to add onto the existing knowledge.
It was inspiring!!! I'm a phd student, I've been in the "cloud" several times and I'm happy to understand, thanks to this talk, that the problem wasn't just me... THANK YOU!!!!!
The whole fear of being beat to to market (being scooped) is what holds back many who would otherwise share. This is a big problem with competition in the modern world. It is through openness and collaboration that we thrive the most.
I guess I've thought of the path of problem-solving (or scientific discovery) as if there's a cloud in the way, but the talk definitely gave me a deeper understanding. Also, the 'yes-and' process is something I'd definitely want to try out. The word needs to be spread.
Are there many Yids in Switzerland? Switzerland just doesn't seem like a country with many Yids. Beautiful snow-capped mountains, cow bells, rolling hills, yodeling, yummy cheese, Rolex, Omega, Federer, Sound Of Music..........these are things that come to mind when one thinks of "Switzerland". But a Yid professor in Switzerland??? That's pretty strange. When one thinks of the word "Yid", one thinks of 1967 War, Moshe Dayan, superb soldiers, UAVs, Ziva David, etc. Yid and Switzerland are two VERY different things.
Kevin: Uri Alon works and lives in Israel. He just came to Lausanne to give his talk at TEDxLausanne. As for Jewish people in Switzerland: Several cities have quite active communities and there are some tourist destinations that seem to be quite popular (Davis, St. Moritz). Some years ago, the president of the Swiss Confederation, Ruth Dreifuss, had a Jewish background. (As a side note: "Sound of Music" plays in Austria, not in Switzerland).

Agreed about open collaboration being key to thriving. How do you feel about that nowadays?

Yay -- For scientists becoming change agents! Uri, excellent talk. 'Yes, and!'
Great Talk, thanks Uri! It is exactly what science needs.
this talk is really interesting for any PhD students or researchers :)
I like this talk better than the TED one. Although, the lighting at this TEDx event was just criminally bad.
i just loved it ^^
