How to Think Like Einstein | PBS BrainCraft Video
It seems like some people have so many great ideas – like Albert Einstein, who as well as changing everything we know about the whole of space and time, also took a stab at fashion. Rest assured there are ways that the rest of us can be more creative, too. Following on from the last episode on the Neuroscience of Creativity, we explore some practical tips for boosting your creativity and generating more great ideas.
This is an installment of the PBS – BrainCraft series created by Vanessa Hill. If no film or link appears in this email, go to the blog to view it by clicking on the blog title above.

2019 Slide Show Update
We’ve made a couple of updates to the program for March 5, 2019. First, how will the show work? Well, we will ask those who submitted photos to come up and as the photos are shown, tell us where you were, what’s happening, why you liked this photos, and so on. After everyone has had a chance to show their slides, we will announce the winners. So, most of the evening is a Members Slide Show.
Second, we have figured out how to show panoramas, so you are not limited to the normal single 4:3 or 16:9 format. We will show panoramas as a slowly panned image on the screen.
Finally, we have decided to let you send us as many photos as you wish. We don’t know how many we’ll get, so why limit it up front? Of course if we get thousands and thousands, we will have to limit the number to show. We’ll just have to wait and see.
The updated page with all the information is https://smbasblog.com/2019-slide-show-contest/.
Now, you have a little more than a month to send us those photos!
