On this episode, find out where the term paradigm shift comes from and what it actually means; also, learn about the natural cycle of normal scientific research promotes discovery, how discovery produces anomalies which lead to a crises and rebirth, all explained through examples of tap dance performance, technique and instruction. Also on the episode: Why some tap dancers, and some scientists and doctors, too, may be resistant to change, even though it is not only good, but inevitable.
