CTRI Innovations Residency

list of topics

description

I take notes during each residency and write up a brief report listing topics we touched upon. My main reason for doing this is to produce some manner of document, and to provide potential applicants with a rough idea of what it's like (sitting around talking), the level of engagement (casual but potentially deep) and a general field of interest (wide enough to encompass basically anything). After doing over a hundred of these residencies I thought it would be fun to sort through my notes and make an alphabetized list of topics. That's what this is.

This list is by no means complete - I didn't write down everything we talked about in every conversation, I just wrote down a few sign posts. Also please note that this is not a menu! When applying for the residency DO NOT select a set of topics you want to discuss from this (or any) list, that's not how a conversation works! This list is provided for general interest only.
