In this talk, we'll explore how maintaining a sense of fun and whimsy in science has a profound effect on discovery, innovation and progress.
We'll also talk about some modern examples of how folks are ensuring technology remains not-so-serious, including some examples specific to the Python community, and how some famous thinkers followed their natural curiosity to keep science fun, all to great success.
And finally, we'll discuss how you and I can keep computing fun on a day-to-day basis, maintain and nurture our natural curiosity, and just be open to the unknown, all to the benefit of our field, those we work with, and ourselves.
