Austin Kleon – inspirations

Austin Kleon on Writing, Creativity and The Importance of Idleness, 2020. https://open.spotify.com/episode/33TUAo3iWBbSolsf08q3FJ.

I found the discussion in this podcast interesting. Austin Kleon is charting out some interesting intellectual territory, and his work and thoughts are worth following. I have read most of his books and seen his talks, and it resonates with combinatoric creativity that Maria Popova often writes about.

Will Durant is quoted to have said – “nothing is new, except the arrangement”

Namaste, Hola & Welcome from G.V. Pavan Kumar. I am a Professor of Physics at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune, India. My research interests are : (1) Optics & Soft Matter: Optically Induced Forces – Assembly, Dynamics & Function; (2) History and Philosophy of Science – Ideas in Physical Sciences. I am interested in the historical and philosophical evolution of ideas and tools in the physical sciences and technology. I research the intellectual history of past scientists, innovators, and people driven by curiosity, and I write about them from an Indian and Asian perspective. My motivation is to humanize science. In the same spirit, I write and host my podcast Pratidhvani – Humanizing Science.
