This is Scientific American’s 60-Second Science. I’m Steve Mirsky. Got a minute?
“One of the things that amazed me was when we brought business people back to say, ‘What don’t we teach you in school,’ these were physicists 2 who became business people. We didn’t teach students how to fail effectively.”
--Arizona State University theoretical physicist 1 Lawrence Krauss
Along with other researchers, university presidents, and reporters, Krauss discussed science and tech policy recently at the Penn Club in New York City. He talked about how he had developed a program “in physics entrepreneurship. Which the business school dean at the time said was an oxymoron. But I don’t think so. The point is that what we do throughout our whole education system is give students solvable problems. In fact they’re guaranteed to be solvable, from problem sets in first-year physics to, in fact, a PhD.
“In the real world, most problems are not solvable exactly, and there are many competing demands. And you have to often change course in the middle in order to meet sociological issues as opposed to technological 3 ones. And it’s very difficult for us to implement 4 that in our teaching. But I think we do a much better job and a much better service to our students if we try and teach our students to fail more effectively.”
Thanks for the minute. For Scientific American’s 60-Second Science, I’m Steve Mirsky.
