SUMMARY:Book Launch for LIT: Life Ignition Tools by Jeff Karp
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the launch of LIT: Life Ignition Tools with author Jeff Karp and the University of Toronto’s Milica Radisic.\n\n\nJoin author Jeff Karp to celebrate the launch of his much-anticipated new book\, LIT: Life Ignition Tools. The event will feature a conversation between Jeff Karp and University of Toronto Professor Dr. Milicia Radisic\, followed by a reading\, Q&A\, and signing. \n \nAbout the Speakers\nJeff Karp\, PhD\, is an acclaimed mentor and biomedical engineering professor at Harvard Medical School and MIT\, a Distinguished Chair at Brigham and Women’s Hospital\, and a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. He has dedicated his research to bioinspired medical problem-solving\, and his lab’s technologies have led to the formation of twelve companies. The technologies they have developed include a tissue glue that can seal holes inside a beating heart; targeted therapy for osteoarthritis\, Crohn’s disease\, and brain disorders; “smart needles” that automatically stop when they reach their target; a nasal spray that neutralizes pathogens; and immunotherapy approaches to annihilate cancer. Dr. Karp is also head of innovation at Geoversity\, Nature’s University\, a rainforest conservancy located in one of the top biodiversity hotspots in the world. He was selected as the Outstanding Faculty Undergraduate Mentor among all faculty at MIT and the top graduate student mentor of Harvard-MIT students. Dr. Karp lives in Brookline\, Massachusetts\, with his wife\, children\, and two Cavalier King Charles spaniels. \nDr. Milica Radisic is a Professor at the University of Toronto\, Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Organ-on-a-Chip Engineering and a Senior Scientist at the Toronto General Research Institute. She is also Director of the NSERC CREATE Training Program in Organ-on-a-Chip Engineering & Entrepreneurship and a co-lead for the Center for Research and Applications in Fluidic Technologies. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada-Academy of Science\, Canadian Academy of Engineering\, the American Institute for Medical & Biological Engineering\, Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine Society as well as Biomedical Engineering Society. Her impressive accolades include being recognized in the MIT Technology Review Top 35 Under 35\, as well as receiving the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal\, NSERC E.W.R Steacie Fellowship\, YWCA Woman of Distinction Award\, Killam Fellowship\, Acta Biomaterialia Silver Medal\, and Humboldt Research Award to name a few. Her research focuses on organ-on-a-chip engineering and development of new biomaterials that promote healing and attenuate scarring. \n \nAbout LIT: Life Ignition Tools\nIn the age of convenience\, information overload\, and endless exposure to stimuli\, it’s easy to trudge through the motions of life\, pressured\, distracted\, and seeking instant gratification. When this way of living becomes the norm\, it can immobilize us\, making it feel impossible to reclaim control of our lives with intention and enthusiasm. \nIn LIT (William Morrow; April 9\, 2024)\, Harvard Medical School professor\, Mass General Brigham and MIT researcher\, and renowned bioinspirationalist Jeff Karp\, PhD\, teaches us to harness the vital wisdom and power of nature to place us into a lit state. Lit is a life magnifier\, a heightened state of awareness that drives curiosity\, connection\, and energy. In short: being lit takes us off autopilot and helps us stay alert\, present\, and fully engaged. \nDiagnosed with learning differences and ADHD at a young age\, Karp persisted through nearly insurmountable struggles. After discovering that he could think about thinking at age seven\, he became his own science experiment\, tapping into the lit state through trial and error to achieve hyper-awareness and explore his curiosity\, creativity\, and connection to nature. Decades later\, as a biotech innovator\, husband\, and father\, lit continues to encourage opportunities for innovation in his professional and personal lives. \nHe has honed those methods into a diverse toolkit that he calls Life Ignition Tools (LIT)\, which help us: \n\nBreak out of habitual thinking to discover our own imaginative power.\nStimulate creativity and excitement at work.\nIntegrate our spiritual and personal lives to repair and deepen our relationships.\nNavigate multiple streams of sensory input and manage information overload.\n\nLit has inspired Dr. Karp’s innovative medical discoveries such as surgical glue inspired by slugs\, a diagnostic for cancer based on the tentacles of jellyfish\, and surgical staples based on the quills of a porcupine – but you don’t have to be a scientist to live lit. Anyone can use these principles to redirect their lives with energy\, focus\, creativity\, and motivation to create the lives they truly want to lead.
