    Thinking about biology helps us understand the living world, and so much of the world operates without our awareness, in places and spaces we don’t easily see, feel, or think about. But what happens in these tiny worlds when things go wrong – this can dramatically affect our health and the entire planet?

    This two-day innovation workshop is designed to get you thinking about biology and how processes at the microscopic level can provide insight that may ultimately help improve the quality of life and our planet. We will think about problems affecting us and our world and try to create innovative new solutions together.

    Attendance on both days is required.
