From professional meatball-counter to scientist
All roads lead to Rome. But why is it always through a detour? This is the story of how a young teen from Denmark travelled to Poland, got hooked on Chemistry, started counting meatballs in a Swedish multinational company, got selected to go to Mozambique with UNICEF, where he got a moment of clarity. He had to pull himself together.

You may have heard of one, but you have not necessarily seen one. It does sound suspiciously like a tale. Are we all born polymaths, and do we all embrace it? And how can polymaths aid you to join dots? Here, the piano-playing scientist will address the tall tale of polymaths drawing on his experience as a facilitator and accidental stand-up comedian.
