My friend Charles had a day of Lightning Talks — where people speak for five minutes on a topic — at his home last weekend. The event was inspired by this quote:
“Those universities that best figure out how to do interdisciplinary research and teaching in the next twenty five years will be the dominant American universities.” — J.L. Hennesey, President of Stanford University
The goal of the lightning talk salon was for a group of people learn what problems each other were working on, so that if someone working in another domain had already solved someone else’s problem, they’d quickly connect and share knowledge.
