Episode description

Sally Kornbluth is the new president of MIT - probably the most prestigious STEM school around. But she also stands up for the arts and the humanities and champions their integration within the sciences. Sally believes that graduating students with great technical skills isn’t enough in today’s demanding job market, nor will rigid academic silos help us face our most pressing challenges, like climate change.
