According to Jennifer Morgan, one significant response lies in the excitement and hope generated by the new story of the Universe as a lens through which we can learn to change our destructive behavior to life-enhancing choices. Oriented particularly to parents, grandparents, and teachers, Jennifer's presentation will provide several foundational science concepts and a dramatic storytelling that captivates the imagination. Science and Consciousness Conference, March 2008 FROM CRISIS TO INNOVATION: LESSONS FROM THE UNIVERSE Crises cause destruction at all levels, from the personal to the global. Even the natural process of growing up seems to bring crises. At the global level, Earth is in the midst of the most massive extinction of species since the dinosaurs perished 65 million years ago. Do crises serve a function? Is there something we can learn from the cataclysmic destructive events that have happened throughout the story of the universe? Jennifer Morgan will demonstrate how the Universe innovates inside of destruction, that crises of the past laid the groundwork, not only for the next part of the story, but also for all the events that followed. By learning lessons from the Universe's Epic of Evolution, Ms. Morgan will demonstrate how the same principles operate today at all levels -- personal, social, and global. She will show how some crises produce innovation and others do not. She will then discuss ways to foster innovation in the heat of crisis.
