Jeremy England Highlight
Everyone has an opportunity to differentiate themselves into the person who's the best in the world at this thing that's never been done before.
About Jeremy
- Calls biophysics "thrilling," but also says it's "a big mess," which makes him carefully choose which problems to tackle.
- Says that when we learn about science from the outside, we only learn the theories that have already been well-defined.
- From the inside, scientific discoveries are all about confronting something you don't have a name for yet.
- Says that there's always someone who can lay out a set path for you, but you'll hit a ceiling.
- Doesn't advocate for ignoring the advice of others, but says you definitely need to set yourself apart at some point.
- When he was a child, he wrote a paper; his parents edited it heavily, he realized he could never make something of "his own" if others were editing him.
- Thinks it's miraculous how humans learn to create new things, have new ideas when all we have are examples of what's been done.
- In the same way that kids learn words, then build unique sentences, it's crucial to take your skills, then create your own unique path.
