Sometimes, it starts with a question that has no clear answer. Nobel laureate Randy Schekman shares his perspectives on exploring the scientific foundations of traditional Chinese medicine, the importance of curiosity-driven basic research and the power of international collaboration. From Tu Youyou's discovery of artemisinin to the development of CRISPR gene-editing technology, he highlights how fundamental research can lead to transformative advances – often in ways scientists could never have predicted. His message is clear: science thrives when researchers have the freedom to explore, share knowledge openly and work together across borders.
