We Ask a Scientist
by Lasker Foundation
Notable scientists discuss the roles of instinct, uncertainty, and inspiration on their road to success. They talk about their approaches to collaborations and how they handle road blocks. As you listen you will find there is no one path or general principle to follow when doing biomedical research. Rather, there is freedom to question existing solutions, and freedom to imagine new possibilities.
