Catalysts of Creativity with Ira Flatow, host of "Science Friday"
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Where do new ideas come from? How does necessity become the mother of invention? Ira Flatow, host of Public Radio’s “Science Friday,” talks about the Catalysts of Creativity: the inspirations for new ideas. From the telephone to computer mouse, from Hedy Lamarr to Radar O’Reilly, one doesn’t have to be an Einstein or a Steve Jobs to be creative. Searching through inventions and patents of the last hundred years, Flatow digs out some of the more unusual, interesting and humorous sparks of imagination.
Flatow, a veteran science correspondent, brings a lively, informative discussion of science to 2 million radio and podcast listeners every week. He is also founder of the Science Friday Initiative, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the public's access to science and scientific information.
