What do cell phone cameras, Gatorade, 3D printers, blood thinners, and Google have in common? They all originated in academic research. How did these innovations get from university labs to our everyday lives? How is today’s political and economic climate—marked by the current administration’s heightened scrutiny of federal university research funding—affecting the pipeline from lab to market? Join us to hear about groundbreaking discoveries that originated in our backyard and get a behind-the-scenes look at the skunkworks that turn research into innovations that impact all of us.
