Contradictheory: Innovation through accident, friendship and passion


I like walking in strange places. I’ve mentioned this before, I’m sure, but when I’m in a new city, I try to walk where I need to go instead of taking a taxi. When I walk back, I take a different route. I find you notice more when you walk, even if it’s slower. You get more surprises.

Even when I am in Singapore, I prefer to walk, although I must confess I took the bus to attend the Global Young Scientists Summit (GYSS) this year, partly because I was rushing from one place to another that week. But it was all interesting.
