It is no secret that we are big fans of GoPro cameras. They are super versatile and output great quality footage. I watched an interview with the founder/CEO of GoPro, and learned that they do a daily giveaway of ‘everything that they make’. Every day! Click here to enter

In the process of discussing creativity with scientists (and trying to encourage scientists to engage with their own creativity), many questions arise about the origins, the process, and the nature of creativity. In this emerging field of research, there are more questions than answers!
