What does it mean to be a disruptive innovator?
How can humans drive forward new ideas into uncertain territory?
In this talk, Emily Clements, a neuroscientist focusing on the science of entrepreneurship, will cover how our brains come up with new ideas, the mechanisms that come into play when going against the grain, and how to alleviate the uncertainty that comes with being a disruptor.
