Many scientific discoveries are the result of "that's so crazy it just might work" thinking. Join us for a conversation about what it takes to figure out if an idea is "crazy" or "brilliant," and how to inspire more high-risk, high-reward science. The panel will be moderated by Corey Powell of Discover Magazine, and will feature Jon Gertner, Brian Greene, Shelley Harrison, and Michal Lipson.
