Science is often presented as directed – we wish to solve problem X, we will do this through experiment Y; we think the world is this way, so we frame and test a null hypothesis. In reality, the progress of science and its impact are often a consequence of unpredicted events. This seminar will celebrate the curious passage of blue skies discovery, with six speakers from IIB relating tales of brilliant accidents and unexpected consequences.
