Creativity is not fluid, it is a bang, a spark, a moment. That moment has a greater chance of existing when many different, educated perspectives converge in one area like flammable gas to the match. We see an amazing future, driven by science and technology and believe that diversity will lead US STEM to greater heights and encourage all to join us on this journey.
