Think of it as the ultimate junk shot.

We can do it.

How do I make a better aspirin? How does that sort of thing go?

The study of philosophy belongs to the humanities.

So in the end, I went after private investors, just gave up on it.

In '85, '86, I was in Bangladesh advising the government and the research council there how to help scientists work on the lands, on the fields of the poor people, and how to develop research technologies, which are based on the knowledge of the people.

That funds everything in the U.K. from medical research, space exploration, where I work, at CERN in Geneva, particle physics, engineering, even arts and humanities, funded from the science budget, which is that 3.3 billion, that little, tiny yellow blob around the orange blob at the top left of the screen.

And we know just an amazing amount more about the brain now than we did 10 years ago.

He applied himself to this scientific study.

There's a problem with a traditional scientific paper.

Well, we, Tess Morgan would call them the Technological Engineering Scientific Studies or T.E.S.S. for short.

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind.

I started a contest four years ago called Dance Your Ph.D.

I mean, why not?

And when I was at National Chemical Laboratory unclear .

Perception and neuroscience we do not need to copy exactly.

The research guidelines of U.S. National Academy of Sciences or Research Councils of the U.K. or of Indian Councils of Science Research do not require that whatever you learn from people, you must share back with them.

Dr. Pederson, this is Dr. Graf from the Psychiatric Institute.

Yesterday, the National Cancer Institute announced a new program called the Physical Sciences and Oncology, where physicists, mathematicians, are brought in to think about cancer, people who never approached it before.

He devoted his life to the study of science.

And I think that's a good question.

I want to contrast that now. With, observational studies.

It's a movement that it advocates making biotechnology accessible to everyone, not just scientists and people in government labs.

And it's not based on theology or philosophy, it's in the study of the mind, across all these spheres of research, from neuroscience to the cognitive scientists, behavioral economists, psychologists, sociology, we're developing a revolution in consciousness.

Botany is the scientific study of plants.

She devoted her life to the study of science.

(Music Happy Together )

Sure, we invest plenty in innovation.

No instead, we walk a mile in their shoes.

Scientific research is not a mechanical routine, but a continuing struggle on the part of the scientist.

Descartes said we need an entire new way of thinking.

A mere repetition of other people's research cannot be called true scientific research.

That's what I've learned from my own personal experience, but the scientific research on this topic is even more compelling.

And you can see this blending of traditional medicine, modern medicine, modern science.

Peter, I wanna bring you in here.

How many masks do you need?

So we got started.

I have told people that MlT is the closest thing on this planet Earth to Hogwarts, to Harry Potter's wizarding school.

And also the Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science, which gave me three years of funding to just do science all the time, and for that I'm very grateful.

Over 15,000 scientists go to San Francisco every year for that.

So I learned the lesson of convex lens leadership from that.

Well there was a little piece of that Women's Health Initiative that went to National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, which is the cardiology part of the NlH.

And here, by great fortune, one of my father's clients had a husband who worked at the Alfred Mann Foundation for Scientific Research.
