\begin{abstract}
Hi reddit, Twenty years ago, I left my tenured professorship of marine
biology for Hollywood. I had a single goal --- the cure for being boring
(especially for scientists, some of whom need it bad). I found it in a
narrative template I crafted and labeled as ``The ABT.'' It comes
indirectly from the co-creators of the Emmy and Peabody award-winning
animated series, South Park. In a 2011 Comedy Central documentary about
the show, they talked about their ``Rule of Replacing'' which they use
for editing scripts. They replace the word ``and'' with ``but'' or
``therefore'' to improve storytelling --- so I turned it into the ``And,
But, Therefore'' template (the ABT). It is now the central tool in my
mission to keep people from being boring. I present it in my new book,
``Houston, We Have A Narrative,'' use it in my work with individual
scientists, and have built my Story Circles Narrative Training program
around it, which I now run with scientists from NIH and USDA. Together,
with this marvelous narrative tool, we are fighting to make the world a
tiny bit less boring of a place. I'll be back at 1 pm EST (10 am PST, 6
pm UTC) to answer your questions, ask me anything! WRAP UP TIME: Hey
Folks -- The two hours is up, I want to thank ALLLLL of you for all the
excellent and fun questions -- hope I did a halfway decent job of at
least getting to some of them. One last time, my webinar this week is
the prime resource for everything I was talking about -- the one hour
webinar I did on Tuesday with Union of Concerned Scientists. Thanks very
much to Reddit -- I really appreciate this great opportunity!
