We start our fourth Ask the Expert series with Sarah talking to writer and all round creator Sam Conniff and scientist Katherine Templar Lewis about Uncertainty. Together they discuss what makes uncertainty so hard for our brains to process and how the unknown stunts our creativity and stalls our progress. Sam and Katherine share the early results of an experiment they've been running to figure out how we can tackle the negative impacts of uncertainty to reduce our anxiety, increase our empathy and improve our decision making.You can find out more about the Uncertainty Experts and sign up to be part of series one here: https://uncertaintyexperts.com/.Listeners can use the code 'Squiggly' to get a discount on tickets.
