S2E7: Science and Mind, with Dr. Thaler

How do you define a scientist? Is it somebody that spends hours at the bench? Is it about publications? Knowledge? Today, Dr. David Thaler exposes his research projects and shows us that science is about curiosity, creativity and most importantly, people! Most important: share your knowledge, your skills, your observations with others, because this will lead to great discoveries.
