Curiosity Built In Me

SLAS Episode 73

Why it is important to be curious for the sake of curiosity? Pouria Rafsanjani Nejad (University of Akron) tells us what he thinks. He  talks to Marshall about the problems with cancer therapeutics, and how to cure patients without causing bigger problems along the way.  Follow him along his path from building model cars to reframing the problem of biology for himself through the study of biomedical engineering. And as Marshall states so adamantly, SLAS lives for the nerds like Pouria; they are out past, present, and future leaders in science! 

 Pouria is an SLAS2021 Tony B. Award Winner
