[Music] As we move forward as scientists, as biologists, the old adage is true: a picture is worth a thousand words. So, what is that image, that graph, that graphic, or even that imagery, um, that really gets to the core of your idea?

Um, it almost gets to advertising; you want that image to stick in your listeners' minds. Um, that both lets them understand the undeniably complex concept that you're trying to convey, but also makes it memorable.

Developing that skill to come up with that picture that is truly worth a thousand words is going to be the skill that we will all need going into the future. Creativity plays a role in my life pretty much every single day by reminding me not to stop just because I've reached a setback.

Like hitting a wall as you're moving towards a goal doesn't have to be the end for that goal. To me, it just means that the path to success isn't going to be quite as straightforward as I originally thought.

Like the way around that wall may require me to climb over it, or tunnel under it, or maybe even dig straight through it. But if I'm creative enough, I can probably find a way to get to the other side.

And this plays out for me in the lab literally every single day. It feels like a tenacity that can see you through things like graduate school if you ever choose to go that route. [Music]
