Papercamp 2 writeup
The power of postcards View more presentations from Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino. PaperCamp is a sweet and strange little weekend affair. Mostly attended by friends or friends of friends, you end up having conversations about stuff, work, life and everything in between.

The Next 10 years in the “future” of science.
Took part in a panel on the next 10 years of science to celebrate Centre for Life’s 10 year anniversary.

Mostly because they require a wall to stick them on or a flipchart, a whiteboard and a collection of otherwise horrible office furniture to make post-its work… Continue reading Ikea and coffee: Thoughts on innovation hubs
Thoughts on corporate innovation
“Always be innovatin”. This perversion of “Always be closing” was a joke Mike and I shared as we walked down the streets of New York last January and got me thinking about the topic ever since.
