What if failure is the point? Confessions of a scientist

We celebrate discoveries but often forget that they stand on the shoulders of failed experiments, rejected hypotheses, and wrong turns. In this event, researchers from different fields share the stories behind the science and discuss why making mistakes is not the opposite of doing good science. 

Together we'll explore why error isn't a flaw in science but one of its most powerful tools for discovery. Whether you're a student, researcher, or simply curious about how science really works, you'll leave with a new appreciation for what it means to "get it wrong." And since every good mistake deserves a good story, a curated selection of books will be on sale throughout the evening. Expect honest stories, surprising examples, and a conversation about what science really looks like behind the scenes.
