I recently finished reading the June 2009 edition of Fast Company. It is entitled “The 100 Most Creative People in Business” and I highly recommend it. If you don’t have the time but are interested in the future, I will provide links to two “must-read” profiles. The first is of Neri Oxman, a Presidential Fellow at the MIT Media Lab. I especially loved this quote of hers: “I believe that in 50 years buildings will be like biological tissues.”
The second profile is of Dr. Anthony Atala, Director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, and a world leader in growing human tissues. I have always been a strong advocate of “thinking like a child,’ and I enjoyed this quote of Atala’s: “It was naive of me. But being naive helped me not accept the current dogma that tissue can’t grow outside the body.”
