Science as an Unending Quest
Marchelo chats with Stefani Ruper about science, the limits of knowledge, and the search for meaning.

Gleiser tells us how he ditched his intellectual comfort zones, why he has such a different view of science from other famous scientists, and how personal tragedy led him to experience the unknown as beautiful.
