One of our latest outreach projects is finally up and running. The Birth of an Idea is a collaboration between an artist (Ana Sousa Carvalho) and a scientist (Vitor Cardoso), about the genesis of ideas in science. We have already gathered many outstanding contributions from colleagues, we hope to get many many more. You can read selected contributions and find out more about the project at http://birthofidea.ist.utl.pt/
