About the Presentation
When we tend to focus on creating an impact on the world, it is fashionable nowadays to think solely in terms of technology. But technology is only the final fruit of a scientific process that begins at the root, and has to be transformed if we are really serious about making the impact. The innovators in science are getting harder to come by: How many of us can name a scientist from the last 40 years who has had the kind of impact Faraday or Tesla more than a century ago? There are also an increasing number of issues at the basis of astronomy, electromagnetism, color science, and evolution, all of which need to be addressed to break through the logjam currently affecting science. We will discuss how to create true innovators, and also recognize real innovations, with the help of a Global Conference addressing all branches of science under one theme: Renewal of Science.
