Anna Duran, Ph.D.’s Post

There is a two day session on burnout that will focus on different groups, and will focus on women in the STEMM professions. This mornings session focused on the definitions and a broad overview of the research on the meaning of burnout. For those who do not understand the scientific aspects of psychology I highly recommend listening in and hearing how proper and rigorous research can be enlightening. #workdemands #moraldistress #healthcare #hazardousjobs #resiliency #intelworkforce Just go to NASEM events to find the link....no charge. Here is the agenda https://lnkd.in/gRkwudyv

Always interesting to listen to these conversations and to learn some of the distinctions ---and assumptions made---about the search for signals or the existence of ETs. Tim nudges on the sociology of science communities and its relationship to discovery. Here are my thoughts: Perhaps communication, if purposely sent, comes in another form that we do not recognize because we use earthling science/physics. After all, there is no doubt that humans are an apophenic species and it would make sense that communication from another species just might be in that form---maybe? Instead we call receipt of that kind of information as "crazy" or "unscientific". So we need to think about a couple of things (at least): (a) the common knowledge effects of conventional science, & (b) our notions of deviancy. I enjoyed watching Seth roll his eyes...but he did say he may be coming out of a trance over the last year <<....>>. Thanks for the thought provoking fun Tim &Seth. #JuliaMossbridge #CarmenMedina #EpistemicFluency #Diversethinking #Paradoxicalthinking #Communication #TimVentura #Futurists #SpaceGovernance

When engaged in creative processes, humans receive information in different ways and can make choices that are not available to AI systems. #AI #Creativity #designthinking #epistemicfluency

Sara Imari Walker's book is an important read if you are interested in the origin of life (anywhere in the universe), biosocial complex systems, and in designing synthetic life. #Publicscienceengagement #designthinking #womeninSTEM #nonhumanlifeforms #outsidethebox #conceptualmileage #challengingconceptualbaggage

THE best! Thanks for sharing Stefan.

This article addresses the infatuation with AI.

THE best social media of the day. As a past roller coaster rider, front seat only. I couldn't resist posting this one. Enjoy. https://lnkd.in/g4tZgcjv

Many times outside-the-box thinkers, visionaries, and people with cognitive gifts can be stigmatized as odd, crazy, and nuts. Even to such an extent that it is possible to lose standing and influence in one's profession because of the pursuit of the unconventional or topics that are difficult to know and challenge current epistemic spaces. Pursing novel, new and unusual ideas requires courage, stamina, and a supportive environment. Consider for example, Bruno (a metaphor) who has a gift of seeing the future. Consider those who advocate for the study of the existence of intelligent non human species. Key questions: How do we respond to people with these abilities and interests? How do we provide a safe space for those who are epistemic developers, creators of new classification of species, and explorers of new and unusual environments?
