Quotes:
“Blind spots are not static. They’re changing relative to you and your environment…. you need to look again…”
"Next time you hop on a bike or hop in, your car will step outside your door front. Think about blind spots in a really active and present way, and think about then that as a metaphor for what innovation could be in your life."
“in my experience, the best thing has been when researchers who are deeply curious about their field and what your problem is, they tend to somehow place themselves in front of you, and a collaboration ends up happening."
“if we were to think about transport not as its own discipline or as as a discipline that's primarily made of engineers, but as it is a field that is ripe for disruption by transdisciplinarity."
