  • Abstract
    Strategies for fostering creativity in a research laboratory are considered. Some novel approaches to providing exposure to new ideas through interaction between researchers are described. The usefulness of chaos in small doses is discussed, and some recipes for brain-storming are examined. The importance of tolerating failures and celebrating successes is stressed.<>
