It takes creativity …
It takes creativity to be open and inspired to wonder and isn’t that what scientist do? Love this and thank you..

She says: “Science …
She says: “Science provides an understanding of a universal experience and the Arts provide a universal understanding of a personal experience” …. think about it, the arts and sciences belong together.
I am able to …
I am able to connect all the information- it is fluid. Science and Art are the same. From wonder we are able to discover and create a new…movement, piece, environment, life.

When you have an …
When you have an idea, measure your:
Understanding, Resources, & Will
And you can predict the power of your idea within yourself. TOTAL AWESOMENESS!!! I absolutely LOVE that concept because I had not defined it within myself until I watched this video. Thank you TED
I wish more people …
I wish more people understood what Mae Jemison is saying. I spent years living in different countries and studying art and history; now I have a degree in physics and am getting a Masters in Nuclear Engineering. It took me a long time to realize that a lot of people believe in the dichotomy of science and art.
Preach Mae! Aint …
Preach Mae! Aint that the truth!
you are quite …
you are quite correct ms. jemison, but the troubles plaguing our public education is so much greater than this presentation presents, ill give you an example, i was trying to talk my little brother into buying a laptop to take to school with him as a learning tool, AND IT WASN’T ALLOWED! our approach to teaching is so moronic we should be providing these kids with all the tools they can get their hands on, and saying what would you like to create, what would you like to discover today.
your rite… …
your rite… unfortunately I’m from East Africa and 1out of 4 women die from childbirth…hopefully America’s life surplus will be granted to other country’s in the future.
Wait let me get …
Wait let me get this straight. You’re using a computer to post your comment on a world-wide network and you’re asking what’s the big deal with science? Just watch “Louise Fresco on feeding the whole world” for an example on what’s the big deal with science. You know that Audio Preview button? They put that there for you.
though i already …
though i already agree with her stance, a speech is always better when it focuses on evidence not a repeteated idea -her topic on the universal instinct to understand is far from articulate..
but i admire the idea and hope people keep it in their thoughts
Great person. What …
Great person. What she says is true but given the ratings I expected to hear something new.
Dude, to understand …
Dude, to understand the world you need science. If you want to live in ignorance, do so. It’s easy. Far easier than trying to understand what’s actually happening and trying to influence it.
There are admittedly other things on life though.
She’s cool, I like …
She’s cool, I like this way of thinking. However, many of the really clever scientists and engineers have been/are creative people.
What’s the big deal …
What’s the big deal with science? When was the last time you worried about dying from an infected cut? Have you spent your entire life staving off starvation? Any idea how the infant mortality rate has changed since science tackled the issue? How many mothers die during childbirth as compared to even a century ago?
Many great points I …
Many great points I agree. I disagree however of what you think she’s not doing. She spoke on a forum full of bright action takers and maybe intellectually leaders too.
That enough was taking action. That enough would inspire someone there. Also I wouldn’t be surprise if she was doing something already. You should read her profile on tedtalks.
in 1908 a lady …
in 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 videos in 30 mins or this will happen good luck
AzoreanProud, I …
AzoreanProud, I know the right brain is much more. I responding to somebody else who said that creativity has no place in science- so I simply was pointing out the various ways that science wouldn’t exist the way it does today without the right brain.
Many great points. …
Many great points.
Though I find it peculiar that she makes the point that an idea wont matter unless we put it into action. Seeing as this is one of the most general and “other people should” kind of presentation I have seen on TED.
Most people on TED are people who HAVE to taken acion on their ideas. I would like to hear what Mae Jemison is willing to do to work towards her idea.
Right brain is much …
Right brain is much more.
And what the big deal with science?
There are other thinks on life.
Great talk! Thanks
Great talk! Thanks
loved this talk
loved this talk
i love when people …
i love when people say that about left and right side dominant brain people. because it effortlessly overlooks the point, that we have both sides to choose from.
That was incredible …
That was incredible, I feel the same way about arts and science.
she’s on point… …
she’s on point… it’s neither healthy nor promotes intellect to be biased on either side of this subject. i mean all systems are bound by limitations,and can be abrasive,and at sometimes contradictory,but if you have one target isn’t it better to have two darts? i mean science has philosophical base. sociological structure..a democratic system with social dimensions.big science and developed thought in the fields of artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and anthropology
