INFO-SPHERES: Discovering Hidden Cross-Disciplinary Connections IMAGE: The gates of a famous university in England distorted and obscured by various semi-transparent bubbles. Tim: At times each field of knowledge seems like a bubble. . . . Satoru: I hear you. And each academic discipline offers a different lens to view the world. Liao: Wise people recognise the connections between many bubbles. Melissa: Hmm. Or perhaps we invent connections when none exist? Liao: Actually, all things are interconnected in astonishing ways. Melissa: (with a tinge of irony) Hmm.
