Very little research has focused on the distancing, transcendent mindsets that reportedly occur when people experience art. Grantee Simone Schnall and her team began the challenging process of designing experiments to address two intriguing questions: - Does appreciating the world aesthetically actually lead to an abstract mindset? - And does appreciating the world aesthetically help people connect with higher values?

Software engineering is as creative as any art--it's just another medium.
Who do you picture when you think of creativity? Often, it’s artists, musicians, or actors. But what about scientists and engineers? 🤔 The truth is, creativity isn't confined to the arts. It's at the heart of every scientific breakthrough and engineering solution, from the Wright brothers' airplane to modern technological innovations.

1766: Moses Harris' innovative approach to colour theory, where he combined insights from Isaac Newton's work on light with his own observations as an entomologist (study of insects) and artist, exemplifies the benefits of interdisciplinary research. Blending knowledge from distinct fields led to advancements in understanding colour theory, which continue to influence art and design today. His mixed method research offers valuable lessons for digital product innovation. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines, focusing on enhancing user experience, innovating through integration, and continuous learning. He did this 270 years ago.

I'm thrilled to share an exciting collaboration with Professor Daniel Caja Rubio at the Seventeenth International Conference on the Arts in Society as part of the Common Ground Research Networks. The featured topic: From the limits of representation to the border with narration, delved deep into the realm where representation and narration intersect. Our research on "Biomimetics and Discursive Design: Pedagogical Strategies to Enhance Responses Beyond the Pragmatic" aimed to uncover innovative ways to draw inspiration from nature and integrate it into design, pushing the boundaries of creativity and functionality. The importance of this topic cannot be overstated. Exploring biomimetics in design not only sparks creativity but also fosters sustainable solutions. By merging nature's genius with design thinking, we can revolutionize industries and create a more harmonious relationship between technology and the environment. Our presentation was a fantastic opportunity to delve into this critical area, discussing pedagogical strategies to amplify responses that extend beyond mere pragmatism. It's thrilling to envision a future where design isn't just functional but also deeply rooted in the natural world, creating a more sustainable and beautiful tomorrow. I'm immensely proud of our collaboration and the conversations sparked at the conference. Let's keep pushing boundaries and exploring the fascinating intersection of design, nature, and storytelling.

I help people by enabling teams to create useful and usable software while putting people and planet first. CUA, CSM, CSPO
"Eventually, everything connects—people, ideas, objects… the quality of the connections is the key to quality per se…" So many insights to unpack in this Charles Eames quote. The value of a liberal arts education. The value of providing all children with the richest possible environment in which curiosity may experiment and play — varied, deep, textured, both bold and nuanced. The highest potential of life online, memex grown to global scale. And as counterpoint our lives at work, about how often people and ideas are put in boxes. Boxes are more easily managed—stacked and layered—than lots of messy, unpredictable, potentially volatile connection-making. It's the connections, though, that enable people to act at every level of detail with compassion, creativity, efficiency, and wisdom. I'll be reflecting on this for a while, I think. I wonder where the idea of "everything [𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜!] connects" takes us. (Potentially every𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚!) One direction might be the connections between people and the software and machines we us to perform our work. What do you think?

''I dove into work showing that highly credentialed experts can become so narrow-minded that they actually get worse with experience, even while becoming more confident—a dangerous combination. And I was stunned when cognitive psychologists I spoke with led me to an enormous and too often ignored body of work demonstrating that learning itself is best done slowly to accumulate lasting knowledge, even when that means performing poorly on tests of immediate progress. That is, the most effective learning looks inefficient; it looks like falling behind." ... "Compared to other scientists, Nobel laureates are at least twenty-two times more likely to partake as an amateur actor, dancer, magician, or other type of performer. Nationally recognized scientists are much more likely than other scientists to be musicians, sculptors, painters, printmakers, woodworkers, mechanics, electronics tinkerers, glassblowers, poets, or writers, of both fiction and nonfiction." ... "As psychologist and prominent creativity researcher Dean Keith Simonton observed, “rather than obsessively focus[ing] on a narrow topic,” creative achievers tend to have broad interests. “This breadth often supports insights that cannot be attributed to domain-specific expertise alone.”

Helps black professional millennial women to uncover relational conflicts, so that they can show up confident in every area of life. Ask Me About My Signature READY Process
Croak attended Princeton University for her undergraduate studies and the University of Southern California for her doctorate, focusing on statistical analysis and social psychology. In 1982, Croak began her career at Bell Labs (later AT&T) with a position in the Human Factors research division, looking at how technology could be used to positively impact people’s lives. She subsequently went on to work on network engineering, where she contemplated the potential of digital telecommunications. Rather than use a traditional phone line for voice communication along with a digital method for internet data, she and her team thought both could be done digitally with the internet and she has more than 200 patents to her name. Key Takeaway: Sometimes it's not that what you have isn't good. It's that you can see and believe there is a different way to provide the same or even better service or experience and that's worth investing the time to develop. Because continuous improvement creates innovation and that innovation can open you to a vast number of ideas that change peoples lives for the better.
