Bonus message for SOT Lateral Thinkers: Meet Sir Gus :-)

As a special bonus message I’d like you to meet Sir Gus Nossal who is a great friend of the School of Thinking and is a founding member of our SOT Science Symposium which meets quarterly to discuss issues relating to thinking and science.

Sir Gus is also one of Australia’s greatest science lateral thinkers of international reputation. Most importantly he is a very nice gentleman. I love being in his company and you always learn and laugh at the same time.

In the July 2018 symposium the question under discussion was: How can placebos work in the triune human brain? Click for more info
Sir Gus being invested as a knight by Queen Elizabeth II at Yarralumla in 1977.

I recently found this wonderful video (27 mins) which is full of great stories and allows you to go for an intimate joyride with Sir Gus. Yes, the sound is quite scratchy but, no matter, there are sub-titles and it’s a fun interview and will lift your spirits and inspire you, as a lateral thinker. The episode is called Scientists in a $h!tBox Spelling it Out and just click here and fasten your seatbelt …

  5. Thanks for the great inspiring course. In a world of linear thinkers I have found most of my lateral ideas has resulted in rejections. Some formal using institutionalised rules, others just too far ahead of its time. But some make it through determination, Sir Gus’ third point, so not giving up. Cheers.
