Keep the Expert
In Keep the Expert, each expert is asked to present a new hypothesis that can address an open gap in the field. Two interrogators will be ready to help the experts sharpen their ideas, followed by a call to the crowd to contribute suggestions for experiments or tell us about their own observations that can support or challenge new theories. This is a mind-blowing session.
In this conference we will interrogate new theories in the following fields:
