Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock MBE, you are an EXTRAORDINARY woman who is VERY INTELLECTUAL and VERY outspoken, and I'm Nigerian descent like you
What a totally captivating lady. I could listen to her all day.
Such a lovely,clever,articulate and caring lady....big Fan,tcx
If she weren't a scientist, she'd be an artist for sure. Amazing creative energy.
She speaks the truth about the education system. We need to encourage out-the-box thinking and discovering untapped genuis that can benefit us all
Maggie thank you so much for this. I am myself dyslexic and you are right. Being dyslexic can also come with great imagination and a different perspective. After struggling with my own education, and using technology to help with my writing, it can now be an advantage.
I dont understand dyslexia. I'm not being funny, but can it be peculiar to a particular language? As in; is it possible to struggle and be dyslexic where english is concerned, but still excel in French or Spanish etc? I ask, because she gained a degree in Physics. I can't do physics. Not because it's beyond me, but because I can't make instant sense of the equations, they just look like chaos on the page. Rather like music notation:- I'm a musician but can't read music. So, she must be able to understand all the squiggles that make up the complex equations and formulas in physics. Where I can't. But I CAN read and write English very well. Do you understand what I'm getting at here?
@@terryperring104 how do you cope with music , when you can’t read it. I am thinking of a career change I need some answers
@@irogueosaretin809 Most songwriters that i know personally, cannot read music. Its quite common to play by ear and to invent. Paul McCartney is a very famous example too.
@@terryperring104 MIKA can't read music he learnt to write songs and to sing and create music when he got kicked out of a school because of his dyslexia being so bad
Wow, touching story 👍🏻
true too true education should teach people how to think stem is one of the ways forward the biggest hurdle is to allow students and people alike to explore maths and not be afraid of the subject in Jamaica they use what is called dominos it comes from Africa along with ife divination of which is from west Africa where I am coming from is by doing board games its allow people to interreact more with subjects like maths and science that's why African people do well on science subjects and law perhaps dominos should be interduce in main stream schools and colleges lastly just as a reminder that Olympia Lapointe is a Mathematician and scientist just Maggie she wrote a book called amathophobia its truly an inspiration .
She is correct...we dont inspire or teach Creativity in Schools !
Chavelling out to space.
