Professor Timothy Leighton: Conquering the Scientific "Valley of Death"

Scientific research is hard. In the “Valley of Death” where research ideas from the brightest scientists are made or broken, we must persevere and push our research to reality.

Professor Leighton talks about his lifelong journey from an orchestra player to a pioneering scientist of acoustic physics. He touches upon the necessity of a multidisciplinary and multi-talented approach to solving problems. It’s an interesting conversation for anyone who wants to learn more about the entrepreneurial nature of science.
