“Uncommon Sense is a set of misconceptions acquired by Age 18." – Albert Einstein
Innovation is a discontinuous phenomenon. By definition, innovation goes against the grain of established wisdom and dogma. While universities are supposed to be hotbeds of innovation and they attract the best and brightest minds to discover the unknown, it is the rare individual who makes game-changing discoveries. Our minds are constrained by our prior beliefs and biases, making it difficult to discover something that is truly novel and innovative.
Furthermore, luck, or randomness plays a greater role in scientific discovery than we are often willing to acknowledge
Dr. Brody will present material discussing reasoning and problem solving in the real world, with particular emphasis on innovation and scientific discovery.
Dr. Brody became the 13th president of the Johns Hopkins University on Sept. 1, 1996. Immediately prior to assuming the position, Dr. Brody was the provost of the Academic Health Center at the University of Minnesota. He has over 100 publications and one U.S. patent in the field of medical imaging and has made contributions in medical acoustics, computed tomography, digital radiography and magnetic resonance imaging.
The lecture honors Albert Moss who served as chairman of the Department of Radiology from 1984 to 2002. During his tenure as chairman, he creatively provided an atmosphere and culture of innovation and excellence. Technical advances in many modalities were implemented and the department grew remarkably, increasing faculty over 400 percent and more than doubling its residency and fellowship programs. During Dr. Moss’ chairmanship, UW Radiology became nationally recognized for its outstanding clinical programs, its highly funded imaging research, and its superb radiology residency training.
The event will be videotaped for viewing on this website (www.rad.washington.edu).
The event is free and open to the public, with a reception to follow in the 3rd floor lobby of the Health Sciences building. For more information, contact Betsy Munk at 206-543-0871.
