Failures or "Stories of reinvention"? According to Deborah Blum, we shouldn't be afraid of change when things go wrong. On the contrary, we should always follow our own feelings even if they take us on unimaginable paths.

Deborah Blum, director of the Knight Science Journalism Program, is a Pulitzer-prize winning science journalist and the author of six books, most recently The Poison Squad. She is a former president of the National Association of Science Writers (US) and currently sits on the board of the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing. Blum has written for a wide range of publications, including The New York Times, Wired, Time, The Wall Street Journal, Scientific American, Discover and The Washington Post. She is the publisher of Undark magazine, which she founded in 2015, shortly after joining KSJ. Blum is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a life-time associate of the National Academy of Sciences, for her work in science communication.
