But is the system that produced these breakthroughs holding itself back? Critics argue that the pressure to publish and fierce competition for funding rewards safe, incremental work over bold thinking and big swings. Yet others see a system still capable of paradigm-shifting discoveries — one where large, worldwide collaborations and long-term thinking motivate scientists to pursue grand, ambitious ideas.Join us as we debate: Is the Scientific Enterprise Too Risk-Averse?Featured speakersArguing Yes:Tyler Cowen, Author of "The Great Stagnation"; Economics Professor at George Mason University; Founder of Emergent VenturesBrandon Ogbunu, Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University and Professor at the Santa Fe Institute Arguing No: Dr. Kate Biberdorf (“Kate the Chemist”), Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, University of Notre Dame; Science EntertainerThe Honorable Sethuraman Panchanathan, 15th Director of the National Science Foundation; University Professor of Technology and Innovation and Foundation Chair at Arizona State University Moderator-in-Chief: John Donvan, Emmy Award-winning journalist About The Hopkins Forum Series: The Hopkins Forum is a partnership between Open to Debate and Johns Hopkins University’s SNF Agora Institute.

The prints’ portability and availability made them some of the earliest pieces of art to enter into the Western souvenir trade, and their impact became global. Mining Evergreen Museum & Library’s robust but rarely seen collection of Japanese prints, JHU Museums Curator of Collections Michelle Fitzgerald will highlight the artistry and reception of ukiyo-e, as well as their impact on both Western and Japanese artists into the 20th century.
