Culture Clash: Failure is not an option vs. Fail early and fail often

In high-risk environments like air and space travel, anything short of perfection can have dire consequences. Even lower stakes settings—from a government office to a science lab—can feel like pressure cookers. Yet successful and innovative outcomes are often the product of failures that occur through iterating and inventing new solutions. Is it possible to balance […]

South by Southwest – Microgravity Research

Tissue engineering. Fluid dynamics. Combustion. Plasma. Hear why scientists are sending experiments into low earth orbit and what we learn from conducting research in the microgravity environment aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The most basic phenomena on Earth can change 250 miles above its surface. Even cells can grow differently in microgravity, potentially allowing […]
