About John LoSecco's research seminar

The public perception of discovery in science is distorted since only the successes are reported. This talk will be more realistic exploring the motivations, missed opportunities and struggles to extract knowledge from data. The context is a the late 20'th century period where numerous physics discoveries were made and a few accidental non-discoveries too. Even though the theory was wrong the story has a happy ending.
