Martin Chalfie's best advice:
If you want to discover much, you need above all:
** freedom to think **
TOMORROW! The #NobelPrize-winning scientist, Prof Martin Chalfie, Columbia University, is speaking on 'The Continuing Need for Useless Knowledge' at 12:00-13:00 (BST) on Friday, 12 April 2024. You are welcome to join via Zoom at: ucl.zoom.us/j/93960224520
