MTS Women Leadership in Marine Science and Technology Webinar Series | Failure: We all do it. What can we learn from it?

Description:

Risk taking is an integral part of innovation. Risk taking also often leads to failure. However, we can learn a great deal from our failures. During this webinar, we will discuss failure, the science of failure, how to think about it and how maximize learning from the experience.

Yian Yin, Cornell University
Yian Yin is an assistant professor of information science at Cornell University. His research applies and develops novel computational tools to understand how individual, social, and environmental processes independently and jointly promote (or inhibit) scientific progress and innovation achievements. As a computational social scientist, he has also used science and innovation as a powerful lens to examine broader processes and outcomes in a wide range of complex social processes, from artistic and cultural productions to public policy, from media attention to market competition to human conflict.
