Tom gives this introductory note to his talk:

Dyslexia is coming to be seen, remarkably, as a significant advantage in an increasing number of fields -- often linked to success in design innovation, entrepreneurial business and scientific discovery. One of the founders of the modern study of molecular biology was dyslexic and described how he used his powerful visual imagination to see the interaction of molecules and see new patterns twelve years ahead of all others in the field. The US National Science Foundation is currently funding a Harvard-Smithsonian study of when and where dyslexia may be an advantage in doing science, especially within astrophysics. In the field of computer graphics and simulation, dyslexic artists and technologists are often leading innovators. A world famous professor of paleontology tries to teach his graduate students how to think like a dyslexic so they can make discoveries invisible to others, and long thought impossible.
