Transforming IDEaS into Nobel Breakthroughs

In February, UC San Diego hosted the Innovation Day Expo and Symposia (IDEaS) in honor of the campus’ 50th anniversary. The highlight of the weeklong event was a panel that brought together four esteemed Nobel Laureates — Robert Engle, Roger Tsien, Mario Molina and Harry Markowitz–to share synopses of their award-winning work and engage in a lively discussion on what it takes to move forward on promising ideas.

UCSD-TV was there to capture this momentous event and share it with our viewers.
