Jaak Panksepp on Eestis sündinud psühholoog-neuroteadlane, kes meediast on tuntud uurimustega loomade naermise kohta. Alljärgnev on lõbus videolõik, kus ta demonstreerib, et loomad naeravad, kõdistades rotti. Tema artikkel sel teemal on Science’is.
Kel Jaak Panksepa teadustöö vastu rohkem huvi võib kuulata intervjuud temaga Brain Science Podcastis. Muuhulgas küsiti seal temalt soovitusi noortele, kes tahavad teadlaseks saada. Jaak Panksepa vastus:
“Take courses from the most interesting and engaged professors, get turned on, and recognize that your education is totally your responsibility. There are only people around you to inspire you, and then you take that inspiration that’s inside and you try to find a place where you can do the kind of work that you want to do. /…/
… and it requires so much hard, time-consuming work. But I would also tell any young person that, once you’re inspired, be ready to commit yourself to some of the most difficult work one can do: difficult because, not only do you have to keep so many skills tuned up, but it’s repetitive — over and over doing the same thing.
So, you have to have a very profound work ethic. You have to be like a brick layer. You have to be willing to build a cathedral; and a cathedral that’s not finished in your lifetime, but that you had established a certain beautiful perspective on things that other people are tempted to follow off.”
