Speed dating for science: perhaps this title is a bit misleading but the clip below shows something that I think has a lot of potential.
Innovation often arises out of two people from different silos realizing that they have something to offer and learn from each other. Academics are notoriously narrowly focused. The best of them is absolutely fascinated with their own field and may not find the time or the temptation to lift their vision from their journal articles or microscopes to learn how their peers' work might inform their own and how they might inform their peers’ work. This idea of "speed dating" which should perhaps more appropriately be called "speed peer informing" has all the ingredients of a winning idea. Sometimes just knowing where to ask a question can make all the difference when a road block in academic work arises. Please see below (and let me know what you think!)
