Where does creativity come from?

Itai Yanai from NYU has been exploring this question in his popular 'Night Science' podcast in collaboration with Martin Lercher from Heinrich Heine University. Are there different sources of creativity – a daytime and a night-time version? What does it mean to generate new ideas? Where do they come from?

In this workshop, Itai will explore the origins of creativity in science and beyond. This is an engaging and interactive session that will help audience members dig deeper into their own creative process.

NB - we have 60 places available - booking is recommended - doors open at 17:45.
