The second episode, featuring Dr. Cora Randall of LASP, is available starting Thursday, July 22.

Terri Fiez, vice chancellor for research and innovation, hosts this up-close look at how researchers, scholars and artists from across campus became pioneers in their fields, their insights into discovery and creation, and their perspectives about the future in their areas of expertise.
