In this episode we are taking the Think & Link discussion to intellectual curiosities born of blending science and design. We thought of no two better representatives than Eric Quint of 3M Design, paired with the co-director of Science House, Rita J. King. In her words, Science House is a cathedral of the imagination in Manhattan focused on the art and science of doing business. Eric is the former head of design at 3M and the author of Design Leadership Ignited: Elevating Design at Scale. If this isn’t a pairing as good as peanut butter and jelly, then we ask, what is?
