Speech, songs, sirens and screams; sound is one avenue through which humans and most other animals communicate. Some think of the absence of sound as being "silence". But what is "silence" when it too can convey meaning? Using the theme “Sound & Silence” as a focal point, we will interview professionals and experts from a wide range of fields and points of view to learn how they gain insight and inspiration to learn and solve problems.
