A few things I took away from today:
- Improvising: don't think too much about it. Just go. Let your emotions speak through the bass.
- Default toward finishing.
- How can I make my country a better place? By making my neighborhood a better place. Volunteer to pack meals with NAACP. Mentor a troubled teen.
Consolidating a few of my previous thoughts:
- When he did an AMA on Reddit, dancing Matt's handle was "BadDancer." This suggested to me that his philosophy is to embrace the "badness" and dance anyway. I can apply this toward research, and embrace that my ideas may not be Nobel-winning, but that I should honor them and try them anyway.
- I want to foster a culture in my research group where the desired behaviors are the normal behaviors. Read the literature. Be respectful. Et cetera.
- This year, I want to read about great examples of leadership. I want to become a true leader in my life.
- What would a future tenured professor do?
