TEDxYouth@SJCS: It's Time to Bury The Myth: Science is Not a Lonely Path
In this thought-provoking TEDx talk, Dr. Reyes challenges the long-standing myth that science is the domain of lone geniuses. ”Einstein revolutionized physics?” False. Or, at least, false by omission. Dr. Reyes has a few words to make that statement true: Einstein revolutionized physics, but he, like every scientist, did not do it alone. | TEDxYouth@SJCS St. Jude Catholic School, Oct 2022
