在研讀物理學博士學位的時候，烏禮．艾隆認為自己是一個失敗者，因為他所有的研究方向都進了死巷子。不過有了即興劇場帶給他的幫助，他瞭解到在迷路時也可以是有趣的。呼籲科學家們停止把研究想成是一條從問題連結到答案的直線，反而是其他更有想像力的東西，這是一個能產生共鳴的想法，不管你處在哪一個領域。

為什麼真正革新的科學需要跳進未知的領域 ?

Scientific research is not a straight line from question to answer but a confusing and emotional journey through what feels like a fog, or 'the cloud.' Many researchers experience periods of feeling lost, stuck, and unworthy, yet these moments often precede genuine discovery. Embracing uncertainty and creativity, especially with support and playfulness, can transform despair into innovation. Practices from improvisation theater, like saying 'Yes, and,' help open minds and foster collaboration, making the unknown a more welcoming place.
