So, have you ever had this experience?
You're having a chat with someone
and they're telling you something about a subject they're very interested in
or they know a lot about,
and you're following along.
Then, at some stage you realize you kind of lost the thread of what they saying.
And then, you're standing there
and you realize you have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.
(Laughter)
I had this recently with a friend who knows a lot about investing.
And it's something I don't know a huge amount about,
but it's very important, very useful information.
But he started talking about kind of diversified investment portfolio -
blah -
(Laughter)
And unfortunately, I went away with no useful information.
So, I think it's a situation we all are familiar with,
and fortunately there's things you can do to improve this situation,
which is what I'm going to talk about today.
So, I'm a scientist. I work in the area of quantum physics.
And so, I've been on both sides of this kind of interaction.
I've both been the guy explaining very complicated material to someone,
but I've also been on the receiving end
of lots of very kind of intense scientific discussions with my colleagues.
And, when this kind of breakdown of communication happens,
I've noticed something interesting,
which is that, as a person who's stopped understanding,
you feel kind of guilty about it.
But, if you think about it, this is completely wrong,
it's the wrong way around because at that point in time,
there's literally nothing you can do to understand better.
But there is something that the other person can do to help you understand
by finding a better way of explaining what they're talking about.
And so -
during my experience in science,
I found that the only way to survive was to kind of have the courage
to politely stop the person who is explaining,
say, "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying,"
and then try and go back and start off from where I'd lost the thread.
And it does take a bit of courage to do this
because you're kind of admitting that you don't know, you know, the subject matter.
But I think that's OK, and in fact, my fears were completely unwarranted.
Generally people respect you if you care much about, you know,
knowing the right information
or care about, like, understanding it properly.
So, I think we should never ever feel bad about not knowing something
and we should never feel bad about asking questions.
So, I do a lot of science communication,
and science really has this communication issue with it
because generally the subject matter is very complex.
And you might know scientists are always complaining
about how their research is being misrepresented by the media,
like "Drinking wine cures cancer."
(Laughter)
It totally doesn't, by the way.
