Through the leaded glass window ....

So today's presentation day and seven bids were put forward exploring themes as diverse as bacterial modelling to apply to increasing resilience in communities, brain imaging for orthodox and non orthodox viewers of ikons and 'brain, artificial intelligence and metaphor'. In isolation, these probably sound pointless, but behind them are some really novel ideas about how societies can increase their resilience to unanticipated, and anticipated, events. In any case, spending three solid days with a bunch of clever people has been completely inspiring.
