Turning Adversity into Opportunity: Philips in Australia, 1945-1980

Turning loss into opportunity: the key deletion of an escape circuit in decapod crustaceans.

Decapod crustacean escape responses are adaptive behaviors whose neural bases are well understood. The escape circuit is composed of giant neurons. Lateral giant interneurons (LGs) respond to posterior stimuli by generating a somersaulting tailflip; medial giant interneurons (MGs) respond to anterior stimuli with a backwards tailflip. Both sets of interneurons connect to giant fast flexor motor...

Visual analytics: A grand challenge in science - turning information overload into the opportunity of the decade

We are in the midst of a major change in the requirements for visualization technologies. The issues posed by information overload goes beyond what is provided by traditional scientific and information visualization. These new requirements will drive a emerging research and development agenda including aspects from both scientific and information visualization with a published starting point de...

When the Blood Glucose and the HbA1c Don’t Match: Turning Uncertainty Into Opportunity

A central principle in science and medicine is that the more independent pieces of evidence there are that agree, the more convincing it is that a hypothesis—or diagnosis—is valid. The opposite is also true: discordant information leads to uncertainty. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for clinicians caring for people with diabetes to encounter individuals in whom HbA1c and blood glucose simply...
