Episode 4: Dr. Hironori Funabiki

In this episode, we meet Dr. Hiro Funabiki, a Head of Lab at The Rockefeller University who researches how cells transfer the right number of chromosomes during cell division and what happens when that process goes wrong. Beyond the lab, we learn about how a high school swim coach shaped Dr. Funabiki’s thinking about science, his favorite museums, and why asking questions teaches you more than just the answers.
