There’s a certain tone of voice [like Boris Johnson, Rees-Mogg & Farage] that makes the hairs on Irish people’s necks stand up. We instantly associate it with colonial untrustworthiness.

Some say you either have "it" or you don't, and that creativity cannot be learned, but that really misses the point. Creativity is lost in the wrong environment. We need to recognize the "night science" aspect of our work and that we need to nurture it in our training. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Can creativity in science be learnt? These researchers think so
Time pressure gets in the way of ideas. Developing ‘creative oases’ and small grants for risky ideas can encourage innovative thinking in science.
