Pre 5 godina, doživela sam nešto
00:19
of what it mustмора have been like to be AliceAlice in WonderlandZemlji čuda.

što bi bilo najsličnije Alisi u zemlji čuda.

Pen Stejt je pitao mene,
nastavnika komunikologije
00:25
to teachнаучити a communicationsкомуникације classкласа for engineeringинжењеринг studentsстуденти.
3
9782
3340
da li želim da držim časove komunikacije
studentima inženjerstva.
00:29
And I was scaredуплашен. (LaughterSmeh)
4
13122
2606
Bila sam preplašena.
(Smeh)
00:31
Really scaredуплашен. ScaredStrah of these studentsстуденти with theirњихова bigвелики brainsмозга
5
15728
3671
Zaista preplašena. Preplašena od tih studenata
i njihovih velikih mozgova
00:35
and theirњихова bigвелики booksкњиге and theirњихова bigвелики, unfamiliarNepoznata wordsречи.
6
19399
3707
i njihovih obimnih knjiga
i njihovih nepoznatih reči.
00:39
But as these conversationsразговоре unfoldedodvijala,
7
23106
3205
Ali, kako su se ovi razgovori odvijali,
00:42
I experiencedИскусан what AliceAlice mustмора have when she wentотишао down
8
26311
2908
doživela sam isto
što i Alisa kada je upala
00:45
that rabbitzec holeрупа and saw that doorврата to a wholeцела newново worldсвет.
9
29219
4177
u zečiju rupu i otvorila vrata
potpuno novog sveta.
00:49
That's just how I feltосетио as I had those conversationsразговоре
10
33396
2611
Tako sam se osećala
kada sam vodila te razgovore
00:51
with the studentsстуденти. I was amazedзапањен at the ideasидеје
11
36007
2749
sa studentima.
Bila sam oduševljena idejama
00:54
that they had, and I wanted othersдруги to experienceискуство this wonderlandzemlji čuda as well.
12
38756
4966
koje oni imaju i želela sam da
i drugi mogu da dožive taj čudesni svet.
00:59
And I believe the keyкључ to openingотварање that doorврата
13
43722
2631
A verovala sam da je ključ
za otvaranje tih vrata
01:02
is great communicationкомуникација.
14
46353
1290
odlična komunikacija.
01:03
We desperatelyочајнички need great communicationкомуникација from our
15
47643
2884
Nama je očajnički potrebna
dobra komunikacija sa našim
01:06
scientistsнаучници and engineersинжењери in orderнаручи to changeпромена the worldсвет.
16
50527
3059
naučnicima i inženjerima
da bismo promenili svet.
01:09
Our scientistsнаучници and engineersинжењери are the onesоне
17
53586
2890
Naši naučnici i inženjeri su ti
01:12
that are tacklinghvatanje u koštac sa our grandestnajveжem challengesизазове, from energyенергија
18
56476
3166
koji su se uhvatili u koštac
sa najvećim izazovima, od energije
01:15
to environmentЖивотна средина to healthздравље careнега, amongмеђу othersдруги,
19
59642
3005
preko sredine do zdrvstvene zaštite,
između ostalog,
01:18
and if we don't know about it and understandРазумем it,
20
62647
3162
i ako mi ne znamo ništa o tome
i ne razumemo to,
01:21
then the work isn't doneГотово, and I believe it's our responsibilityодговорност
21
65809
3008
taj posao nije urađen
i verujem da je naša odgovornost
01:24
as non-scientistsNe-nauиnika to have these interactionsинтеракције.
22
68817
2951
kao ne-naučnika da imamo ove interakcije.
01:27
But these great conversationsразговоре can't occurпојавити if our scientistsнаучници
23
71768
3160
Ali ovi divni razgovori se ne mogu desiti,
ako nas naši naučnici
01:30
and engineersинжењери don't inviteпозовите us in to see theirњихова wonderlandzemlji čuda.
24
74928
3234
i inženjeri ne pozovu
da vidimo njihovu zemlju čuda.
01:34
So scientistsнаучници and engineersинжењери, please, talk nerdyљtreberski to us.
25
78162
5479
Zato, naučnici i inženjeri, molim vas,
pričajte štreberski sa nama.
01:39
I want to shareОбјави a fewнеколико keysključevi on how you can do that
26
83641
2487
Želela bih da podelim sa vama nekoliko načina
kako to možete uraditi
01:42
to make sure that we can see that your scienceНаука is sexyсекси
27
86128
4075
da budete sigurni da mi možemo da vidimo
kako je vaša nauka seksi
01:46
and that your engineeringинжењеринг is engagingангажовање.
28
90203
2600
i da je vaš inženjering privlačan.
01:48
First questionпитање to answerодговор for us: so what?
29
92803
3733
Prvo pitanje na koje bi
trebalo da nam odgovorite je: Pa šta?
01:52
Tell us why your scienceНаука is relevantрелевантно to us.
30
96536
3955
Recite nam zašto je vaša nauka bitna za nas.
01:56
Don't just tell me that you studyстудија trabeculaetrabeculae,
31
100491
2630
Nemojte mi samo reći
kako vi proučavate trabekule
01:59
but tell me that you studyстудија trabeculaetrabeculae, whichкоја is the mesh-likemrežica-kao structureструктура of our bonesкости
32
103121
3897
nego mi recite da proučavate trabekule,
koje su poput mreže koja čini strukturu naših kostiju
02:02
because it's importantважно to understandingразумевање and treatingлечење osteoporosisosteoporozu.
33
107018
4613
i bitna za shvatanje
i lečenje osteoporoze.
02:07
And when you're describingописујући your scienceНаука, bewareČuvajte se of jargonжаргон.
34
111631
4506
I kada objašnjavate svoju nauku,
izbegavajte žargon.
02:12
JargonŽargon is a barrierбаријера to our understandingразумевање of your ideasидеје.
35
116137
3876
Žargon je barijera u našem razumevanju
vaših ideja.
02:15
Sure, you can say "spatialпросторно and temporalтемпорал," but why not just say
36
120013
3076
Naravno, možete reći "temporalno i spacijalno",
ali zašto ne biste jednostavno rekli
02:18
"spaceпростор and time," whichкоја is so much more accessibleприступачан to us?
37
123089
3426
"prostorno i vremenski", onako
kako je mnogo razumljivije za nas?
02:22
And makingстварање your ideasидеје accessibleприступачан is not the sameисти as dumbingdumbing it down.
38
126515
5148
Učiniti te ideje dostupnim,
nije isti što i zaglupeti ih.
02:27
InsteadUmesto toga, as EinsteinEinstein said, make everything
39
131663
2777
Umesto toga, kao što je Ajnštajn rekao,
učinite sve
02:30
as simpleједноставно as possibleмогуће, but no simplerједноставније.
40
134440
3434
jednostavnim koliko je to moguće,
ali ne jednostavnijim.
02:33
You can clearlyјасно communicateкомуницирајте your scienceНаука
41
137874
2773
Možete jasno izraziti svoju nauku
02:36
withoutбез compromisingugrožavanje the ideasидеје.
42
140647
2687
bez toga da kompromitujete ideje.
02:39
A fewнеколико things to considerразмотрити are havingимати examplesпримери, storiesприче
43
143334
3945
Treba uzeti u obzir da imamo primere, priče
02:43
and analogiesporeрenja. Those are waysначини to engageангажовати
44
147279
1705
i analogije. To su stvari
preko kojih ćete nas uključiti
02:44
and exciteузбуђује us about your contentсадржај.
45
148984
2182
i zainteresovati za svoj sadržaj.
02:47
And when presentingпредстављање your work, dropкап the bulletбуллет pointsбодова.
46
151166
6313
I kada predstavljate svoj rad,
izbacite numerisanje.
02:53
Have you ever wonderedпитао се why they're calledпозвани bulletбуллет pointsбодова? (LaughterSmeh)
47
157479
3853
Da li ste se ikada zapitali
zašto se to zove bullet (metak)? (Smeh)
02:57
What do bulletsMeci do? BulletsMeci killубиј,
48
161332
2368
Šta rade meci?
Meci ubijaju
02:59
and they will killубиј your presentationпрезентација.
49
163700
2312
i oni ce ubiti vašu prezentaciju.
03:01
A slideклизање like this is not only boringдосадан, but it reliesoslanja se too much
50
166012
4179
Slajd kao ovaj, nije samo dosadan,
već se i previše oslanja
03:06
on the languageЈезик areaподручје of our brainмозак, and causesузроке us to becomeпостати overwhelmedпреплављени.
51
170191
3727
na jezički deo našeg mozga
i uzrokuje da postanemo preplavljeni.
03:09
InsteadUmesto toga, this exampleпример slideклизање by GenevieveGenevieve BrownBrown is
52
173918
3904
Umesto toga, ovaj primer slajda
od Ženeviv Braun je
03:13
much more effectiveефикасан. It's showingпоказивање that the specialпосебан structureструктура
53
177822
2882
mnogo efektniji. Pokazuje
da je specijalna struktura
03:16

54
180704
3664
trabekule tako jaka,
da je zapravo inspirisala
03:20
the uniqueјединствен designдизајн of the EiffelAjfel TowerToranj.
55

03:23
And the trickтрик here is to use a singleједно, readablemože da se pročita sentencerečenice
56
187223
3680
Trik je u tome da se koristi
jedna, čitka rečenica
03:26
that the audienceпублика can keyкључ into if they get a bitмало lostизгубљено,
57
190903

03:29
and then provideпружити visualsvizuelni prikaz whichкоја appealжалба to our other sensesчула

i onda obezbedite slike

o tome šta se opisuje.
03:37
So I think these are just a fewнеколико keysključevi that can help
61
201286
2850
Mislim da je ovo par ključnih stvari
koje mogu pomoći
03:40
the restодмор of us to openотворен that doorврата and see the wonderlandzemlji čuda
62
204136

da se nama ostalima otvore vrata
i da vidimo zemlju čuda
03:43
that is scienceНаука and engineeringинжењеринг.
63
207658
2216
nauke i inžinjeringa.
03:45
And because the engineersинжењери that I've workedрадио је with have
64
209874
2449
Zato što su me inženjeri
sa kojima sam radila
03:48
taughtнаучио me to becomeпостати really in touchдодирни with my innerунутрашњи nerdштребер,
65
212323
3800
naučili da budem u dodiru
sa svojim unutrašnjim streberom,
03:52
I want to summarizeрезимирати with an equationједначина. (LaughterSmeh)
66
216123
2953
želim da sumiram
sve sa jednačinom. (Smeh)
03:54
Take your scienceНаука, subtractoduzimanje your bulletбуллет pointsбодова
67
219076
4245
Uzmite nauku, oduzmite numerisanje
03:59
and your jargonжаргон, divideподела by relevanceрелевантност,
68
223321
2778
i vaš žargon, podelite relevantnošću,
04:01
meaningзначење shareОбјави what's relevantрелевантно to the audienceпублика,
69
226099
2447
znači, podelite sa publikom
ono sto je važno
04:04
and multiplyмножи се it by the passionстраст that you have for
70
228546
2791
i pomnožite to sa strašću koju imate
04:07
this incredibleневероватан work that you're doing,
71
231337
2223
za taj izvanredan posao koji radite
04:09
and that is going to equalједнак incredibleневероватан interactionsинтеракције

that are fullпуна of understandingразумевање.

I tako, naučnici i inženjeri, kada rešite
04:18
this equationједначина, by all meansзначи, talk nerdyљtreberski to me. (LaughterSmeh)
75
