If you sing wrong, sing louder: How we learn from failure

• October 2019
Afraid of making mistakes? Don’t be! Dr. Melanie Stefan shows us how necessary they really are. As a mathematician and biologist she builds computer models and simulations of brain cells, in order to better understand learning and memory. Melanie advocates for an open discussion about failure in science, and called for a "CV of failures" instead of the perfectly polished CV. At TEDxKuchl she shows us what "learning from our mistakes" really means.
Melanie currently heads a research group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, and spends three months a year in China, where she teaches students in Biomedical Informatics and Sciences.
