인간의 감정 때문입니다.
사이에서 태어났어요.
and suppress their feelings
in between logic and emotions,
끊임없이 갈등합니다.

이런 스팍의 모순적인 행동을
and movies from the '60s until today.
아주 중요한 소재이기도 합니다.
what I want to talk about today:
is all about facts and logic
바탕으로 하기 때문에
or considered an obstacle to get rid of.
장애물 정도로 여겨집니다.
are as important in science
다른 부분에서와 같이
of our lives.
중요하다고 말하고 싶습니다.
we cannot get rid of our emotions.
we should make use of our feelings,
as facts and logic.
잘 활용해야 한다고 믿습니다.
on the role of emotions and science,
제가 개인적으로 경험하고,
kept me thinking about it
on organic light-emitting diodes,
'유기발광 다이오드'입니다.
in smartphone displays and TV screens.
점점 많이 사용되고 있죠.
truly colorful and bendable.
구부릴 수도 있습니다.
of my physicist colleagues.
볼 수 있는 올레드입니다.
I started to work on it.
to stop OLED research.
중단한다고 발표했거든요.
had reasons for this decision,
very well, actually.
for their performed work.
보상을 받았으니까요.
with my scientist colleagues and me
the announcement
on emotions in science.
짧은 사례 연구라고 해두죠.
had grown to more than 80 people,
80명이 넘을 정도로 성장했어요.
that our project was discontinued,
from one day to another.
하루 또 하루 계속 일을 했죠.
to bring all activities to a sound end
within the company for everyone.
옮기기까지의 몇 달 동안
that we were working on a project
our output hit the roof.
올린 성과는 정말 대단했어요.
on two different OLED projects:
두 가지의 연구를 하고 있었는데,
for blue-shining OLEDs,
which had started in 2014.
초록색 올레드 소재의 개발이었죠.
concern the green OLED project.
초록색 올레드 연구의 성과입니다.
how the lifetime,
기기의 내구성을 측정하는 척도인
for the durability of our devices,
into the project,
반년 정도 된 2015년에는
as soon as possible
통보를 받았어요.
좋아지기 시작했어요.
colleagues started leaving the team,
동료들은 팀을 떠나기 시작했고,
the same attitude of,
같은 생각이었을 거에요.
leaving the ship."
working on the project was decreasing,
grew dramatically.
훨씬 더 커졌다는 것입니다.
team spirit formed.
단체정신이 만들어졌죠.
passion for our work,
that we could turn our ideas into reality.
실현해 보여주고 싶어했어요.
to something bigger.
in the focus of the management,
관심 밖으로 밀려났는데,
to think about new projects,
저희 스스로 자유롭게 판단하고
a few things into our own hands.
also means more responsibility,
because we believed in our work.
기꺼이 받아들였습니다.
of self-reinforcing cycle,
점점 더 힘이 났고,
with such personal engagement
헌신할 수 있었던 것은
to something meaningful.
사명감 때문이었죠.
and sometimes frustrating time,
about the end of our project
기쁨도 함께 했어요.
and mesmerizingly exciting time.
열정과 흥분에 차 있었습니다.
for our materials
commercialized materials
한 단계 높은 수명의 소재를
회사는 그 특허를 이용해
and a slightly different operation.
다른 인물들을 통해서 해드릴게요.
who haven't seen the movies,
to save the starship Enterprise
온 우주를 뒤져
through the universe to search for Spock,
스타 트렉 2는 끝이 납니다.
only very little chance
아주 희박하다는 것을
did not give them permission
수색을 허락하지 않고,
into their own hands
직접 스팍을 찾기 위한
they eventually found Spock,
마침내 구조에 성공하고,
joined the team again.
스팍은 다시 팀에 합류합니다.
and the connection of his team
which was to save him
over the episodes of the saga,
함께 많은 일을 겪으면서,
of both logic and emotions
도전에 맞서려면
and exploring new worlds,
무척 중요하다는 것입니다.
괴리감을 느끼지 않습니다.
for both our OLED story and Star Trek
겪은 일과 스타 트렉 모두
for a lot of breakthrough stories,
획기적인 성공담의
are all part of a great team.
towards reaching their goal.
all the freedom they can get,
they need to take.
was nearing the end,
several times.
제게 이런 말을 했어요.
several depressed evenings
in personal development and happiness.
경험하지 못했겠죠.
for my colleagues and our whole project,
연구를 마치려 했다면,
기대할 수 없었을 겁니다.
should be based on facts and logic.
근거해야 합니다.
our emotions in science,
feelings instead of facts.
중요하다는 것이 아니죠.
of using our feelings
촉진하고 구현하기위해
fact-based science and innovation.
감정을 활용하라는 것입니다.
do not oppose each other.
to something meaningful,
아주 중요한 역할을 합니다.
as much as you like.

Why you should listen
As Lab Head for Research and Development of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLED), Ilona Stengel designs specific molecules which transport electrical charges or emit light for display applications. She studied chemistry at the University of Konstanz and graduated with her diploma thesis about natural product synthesis in 2007, and she received her PhD at the University of Ulm in organic electronics. Over the past ten years, she's been part of several international academic and industrial research groups, which has given her insights into people's motivation in a scientific and research context.
