Robert Langer: I think probably there are certain things that are inherent — maybe genetic — about creativity. But I also think that there are probably several elements that can help in terms of creativity, too. One is probably just self-confidence. I remember when I was younger, sometimes I would like have an idea and probably immediately I would dismiss it. How could I come up with something? But as I got older, I got maybe more self-confident. I think another thing that helps — and I think was incredibly valuable for me — was stretching myself. Not necessarily intentionally, but the fact that say, I was a chemical engineer on the one hand, and then I would be exposed to medicine on the other hand. I would have these two different disciplines. What I would start to do, because they were so different, you would think, “Well, you could combine them,” and that would give me ideas probably that nobody at that time had, because nobody else had that kind of background. Very, very few chemical engineers, and mostly they were doing oil, and I was doing medicine. So I thought, “Well, I could do something different,” just because I had the skill set and I saw that whole other area. I think stretching yourself, intentionally or unintentionally, in new areas, seeing new things that people haven’t seen before and yet knowing something else, I think that that probably helped me do it.
