Night Science: Creativity Workshop for Developing Research Ideas

Day science is what we traditionally think about when we think of "science". It is hypothesis-driven, empirically supported, and logical. Night science, on the other hand, involves unconnected, loosely related ideas and associative leaps. Often, our research questions come from night science, but it can be hard to think creatively when we are immersed in "day science". In this workshop (modified from Drs. Itai Yanai & Martin Lercher's night science workshops), SOPS will engage you in a series of activities aimed at helping you think creatively and ask interesting research questions.
