Summary: A new study finds that Nobel Prize winners who moved more frequently or worked in multiple locations began their groundbreaking research years earlier than peers who stayed in one place. By exposing themselves to new ideas and collaborators, mobile scientists accelerated their creative output.
The study suggests that fresh environments and diverse intellectual networks can fuel innovation more effectively than long-term stability in a single institution. This mobility advantage may apply not only to scientists but to creatives in any field driven by novel thinking.
there is evidently a mounting problem about the gap between people’s urge to experience wild and open spaces, and their ability to cope when they actually get there.
