Über diesen Podcast
With support from The Kavli Foundation, Clear+Vivid presents this
special series on the power of basic scientific research – from
the pure to the practical. What is curiosity-driven research? Why
does it matter? How does it play a role in transforming our
lives? Where does basic research take place and by whom? Why is
investing in basic research essential to society?
Host Alan Alda leads conversations with 10 guests discussing
these topics and more, each sharing their point of view and
experience about basic science and their personal stories – what
got them interested in or involved in science. Science
Clear+Vivid runs concurrent with Clear+Vivid Season 10 (October -
November) and will be released each Thursday.
