An Interdisciplinary Approach. This, more than anything else, makes our conference unique. I like to see sparks fly.
Sparks give light as well as heat.
In only this way can we present reliable material to each other and to the public and be taken seriously in our endeavors within the educational, scientific and policy-making communities we want to influence. Science as a Guide to the Imagination. Subjects and approaches which stir the imagination as well as the intellect should not be discouraged, as long as they can bear the scrutiny of scientific investigation. As we gain confidence and credibility, we can eventually face the challenge of presenting a balanced interdisciplinary, scientifically-based inquiry on any subject. In all undertakings, our reasonable discretion should be directed toward reaching a position of valor.
