Last Thursday, \textbf{September 22nd}, we held our 5th New York open
science meetup
(\href{https://twitter.com/search?src=typd\&q=\%23opensciencenyc}{\#opensciencenyc}).
Science journalists, Columbia faculty members, and enthusiasts from our
\href{http://www.meetup.com/ny-openscience/}{open science meetup group}
came out to hear Dr. Stuart Firestein talk about ignorance in scientific
research and why it is necessary and valuable (\emph{yes, you read that
right}).

Hailing from Philadelphia, Stuart moved to California where he worked as
a theater director before attending San Francisco State and later UC
Berkeley where he earned a PhD in neurobiology. He went on to conduct
research at Yale Medical School prior to joining Columbia University
where he now serves as Chair of the Biological Sciences Department. His
lab~studies the vertebrate olfactory receptor neuron and mechanisms of
signal transduction.\\

~\\

Dr. Firestein is author of~\textbf{\emph{Ignorance: How It Drives
Science}}~and~\emph{\textbf{Failure: Why Science Is~So Successful.}} He
defined ignorance not as a willful action to be wrong or uninformed, but
rather an acknowledgement that we don't know everything and even the
things we think we know are likely not as absolute as we think.\\

We were unable to film the event but here are a few pictures and live
tweets. If you're in the New York City area, join us at our
