Manage episode 508479721 series 2906321
In this episode, John and Simon chat with award-winning author and science communicator Cristy Burne. With 18 books under her belt, a stint at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, and a mission to ignite curiosity in kids and adults alike, Cristy brings her signature mix of energy, humour and insight. The conversation goes everywhere from how to spark creativity in everyday life, to why we all need to play more and embrace the chaos of being human. Also, there’s a leech-in-your-eyeball story. Of course there is.
In this episode, they chat about
Why fun and play are the gateway drugs to creativity and curiosity
The role of adults in showing kids that growing up can be joyful
How to find creativity in the corners and gaps of your day
Why perfection is the enemy of progress (especially when dancing)
How to reframe drudgery by reconnecting with your higher purpose
Giving yourself permission to try, fail, and keep going
The Large Padron Collider, Bonbon Collider and other very real science experiments
Why Cristy recommends you don’t visit crustybum.com
Along the way, they cover Bluey, book week, Barack Obama’s suits, marshmallow metaphors, AI bosses, and the very underrated joy of sitting in dirt.
