Star Sightings at Annual Meeting Three Academy members were honored at the Annual Meeting for their excellence in pharmacy education and research. Read about their outstanding work in the Summer issue of Academic Pharmacy Now. Europe, Asia and the United States. Robinson enlightened and entertained the audience with his talk about the dire need for truly creative thinking at all levels of the learning continuum. “I define creativity as the process of having original ideas that have value,” he said. “And it’s a process you can teach.” “Only special people are creative: this is a myth.” He encouraged participants to “…activate your creativity. To be creative, you have to do something.”
