<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">The idea behind DISI is simple. We bring together promising <b>Scholars</b> (graduate students, postdocs, and early-career faculty) and <b>Storytellers</b> (artists,
writers, filmmakers, etc.) interested in the origins, nature, and future of intelligences for several weeks of serious interdisciplinary exploration. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">In both the Fellow and Storyteller tracks, we’re looking for open-minded participants who want to take intellectual risks and break down disciplinary barriers
in the spirit of dialogue and discovery. We hope that this creative community will work together to develop new ways of engaging with big questions about the mind, cognition, and intelligence. You can read more about DISI—including previous iterations—on our
