Secret Life of Scientists and Engineers

30 Second Science: Jim Gates

Season 2013 Episode 1 | 47s

Jim Gates has 30 seconds. He describes his science as cutting things up into tiny pieces.

Jim Gates is Professor & Director of the Center for String & Particle Theory at the University of Maryland. He also recently received the National Medal of Science from President Obama. We consider Jim a Science/Faith Healer because he often speaks publicly about how human beings don't need science or faith, but that, in fact, we need both.
