In this episode, we talk with Don Braben, PhD.  Donald Braben is a scientist and author. From 1980 to 1990, he led British Petroleum’s Venture Research program, for which he developed a radical, low-cost approach to finding and funding researchers whose work might redefine their fields. Of the dozens of projects supported by the program, many led to transformative discoveries. I think Don's concept of Venture Research is essential to saving our stagnating society. Don recently republished his book Scientific Freedom, with Stripe Press, which I highly recommend.    A quick note, the conversation with Don starts about 21 minutes in. We give an intro before that.
