That’s very difficult. |
| 00:04 → 00:07 |
Winston Churchill once said: |
| 00:07 → 00:10 |
“Many a man stumbles over the truth... |
| 00:10 → 00:15 |
...but most get up, wipe themselves off and hurry on as if nothing had happened”. |
| 00:16 → 00:24 |
So we all stumble over exciting findings, periodically, in science... |
| 00:24 → 00:29 |
...but to recognize that’s it’s important and that it’s worth continuing to work on... |
| 00:29 → 00:33 |
...instead of just putting it to the side and saying “that was a strange result, let’s move on... |
| 00:33 → 00:37 |
...to do what we were starting to do”. That’s a trick... |
| 00:37 → 00:45 |
...that probably none of us is 100 per cent capable of making those decisions correctly... |
| 00:45 → 00:49 |
...but as you get more and more experience in science - I don’t know how it happens - |
| 00:49 → 00:54 |
- somehow good scientists learn to make those distinctions, and say: |
| 00:54 → 00:57 |
“Aha, this could be really important, |
| 00:57 → 01:04 |
this would take us a huge amount of time and probably never would be very important”. |
| 01:04 → 01:12 |
So it comes from working as a scientist to gain this ability... |
| 01:12 → 01:16 |
...and I think it comes from maybe working with a mentor, |
| 01:16 → 01:21 |
someone who has already developed this skill... |
| 01:21 → 01:27 |
...and is now able to help guide a younger scientist to learn how to make these choices. |
