Alan Alda - Communicating Science

The world knows Alan Alda as an Emmy-award winning actor. The science community knows him as the founder of the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science, empowering scientists and health professionals to communicate complex topics in clear, vivid, and engaging ways. Watch his talk on how we can all communicate better with each other by practicing and exercising our empathy.

1. CONNECT: Make it easy for your audience to follow
2. OBSERVE: Have empathy, take on their perspective; read their emotions by observing. Must be practiced to keep it!
3. SHARE EXPERIENCES not tips. (A speed sign is a tip, a speed ticket is an experience!)

I'm glad Alan focused on empathy as a vehicle for enabling better human communication. It's my opinion that empathy is the only genuine foundation for human morality. Not 'holy' books or fear of 'divine' punishment. Not dictates. Not even societal pressure. They're all external motivations. Empathy is an INTERNAL motivation that moves us to consider the effects our behavior will have on others. That's the basis of real morality.
