About this event

Business • Finance

The Office of Innovation & Commercialization's Innovation at the Edge is an incredible speakers series that is your invite to hear from founders, researchers, venture capitalists, distinguished alumni, and creative leaders as they converge to nurture your entrepreneurial spirit.

This month Paul Kedrosky welcomes Lux Capital's own Scientist in Residence Samuel Arbesman in a very special fireside chat to discuss his latest book, "The Magic of Code," as well as a myriad of other exciting topics. Sam is also an xLab senior fellow at Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management and a research fellow at the Long Now Foundation. He has authored "Overcomplicated," as well as "The Half-Life of Facts." His writings have appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and Wired, where he was previously a contributing writer. And in case you were wondering, the first computer he used was a Commodore VIC-20.

Whether you're a student with a burgeoning business concept or a seasoned professional seeking fresh insights, our series is your platform for education, connection, and bringing innovative ideas to life. Immerse yourself in this transformative community and unlock your entrepreneurial potential.
