Creativity is an
area that has fascinated me ever since I first became interested in

structure underpinning abilities that we consider exceptional or
extra-ordinary.
Creativity is an interesting area to explore, as so few people know how they are creative. And the limitations

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

What do I mean by ‘limitations’? There are many popular presuppositions about creativity that can be very limiting.
