Since i’ve landed back in Sydney, one thing has been pretty much in my face the whole time, i cant ignore it and now dear reader, i have to tell you too.
It’s the idea’s, too many ideas to ignore, Sydney is a very stimulating place to be
I was watching a Tedx talk last year, by O.E Wilson and he was asked to give a talk about advice to budding scientists.
His advice was.
Learn as much as you can in your own field
Learn as much as you can in fields outside your field
With technology and emerging technologies branching out and creating new fields, some of the new fields will cris-cross and hey presto, something irrelevant is a hot topic.
