Collaborative Problem Solving and Interdisciplinary Approaches

The video emphasizes the importance of global collaboration and diverse perspectives in solving future problems. It highlights the need for interdisciplinary approaches, combining various fields like economics and ethics, to create practical solutions. The speaker shares a personal example of integrating physics into biology research, demonstrating how new perspectives can expand problem-solving capabilities.

Why is it important to work with diverse voices from around the world?

• To increase competition among colleagues

• To simplify problem-solving processes

• To gain a complete understanding of the living world

• To reduce the number of perspectives

What is necessary to solve future global problems?

• Ignoring economic factors

• Focusing only on one discipline

• Global collaboration

• Working in isolation

What should be considered to reach practical solutions?

• Focusing solely on technology

• Economic and ethical factors

• Only scientific theories

• Ignoring real-world applications

Why are some solutions not practical in real life?

• They are universally applicable

• They are too expensive

• They are only great on paper

• They are too simple

What is the benefit of combining different ways of thinking?

• It complicates problem-solving

• It helps reach practical solutions

• It leads to unrealistic solutions

• It limits creativity

What is the role of economics and ethics in problem-solving?

• They are only theoretical

• They help in reaching sensible solutions

• They complicate solutions

• They are irrelevant

What is an example of using new ways of thinking in problem-solving?

• Sticking to traditional methods

• Combining biology with physics

• Avoiding interdisciplinary approaches

• Focusing only on biology

How did the speaker's approach to biological problems change?

• By avoiding interdisciplinary methods

• By focusing only on biology

• By adopting a physics lens

• By ignoring physics

What expands the possibilities of experiments in scientific research?

• Focusing only on existing hypotheses

• Sticking to one discipline

• Interdisciplinary learning

• Avoiding new theories

What does the speaker's PhD project involve?

• Only biology

• Only physics

• Mechanics and physics

• Chemistry and biology
