Teach creativity in science higher education
Keith Yamamoto shares: "Creativity, the start point for science, is typically unacknowledged and rarely credited – yet it is the spark that illuminates an unimagined puzzle, and gives form to a new hypothesis.
Can creativity be taught? Yes, and it should be taught in science graduate curricula, as it is in the arts, business, engineering, and more. Demystifying the scientific creative process can make science more equitable and accessible. And better. And more gratifying."
A Radcliffe Institute Summit group convened by Itai Yanai and Martin Lercher wrote this letter in Science co-authored by Yamamoto.
