Biocaptivate - Social Imagination & Science
Channel: Simulation
Date: 2019-03-22

Biocaptivate is a think tank to promote and enhance creativity, curiosity, and diversity (cognitive and otherwise) in biological research, engineering, education, and policy.

They reimagine social-political-economic narratives, structures, and selective pressures to combat monoculture, conventional wisdom, austerity and (needless) hustling in science. They augment interpersonal and inter-organizational relations. They empower and celebrate introverts and outsiders. They reject small talk, and encourage large changes.

Biocaptivate also catalyzes ongoing dialogue to improve the practice, culture, and communication of biology to the benefit of our planet. With appreciation for the art of the possible, they use this dialogue to craft a dynamic playbook to shift Hallin’s spheres and Overton windows regarding issues affecting science and scientists.

They explore how topics such as awe, metacognition, time perception, networked lateral thinking, and “the third culture” relate to building and creating sustainable scientific policies.
