Description

In this episode of The Founder Spirit, Fabiola Gianotti, the first female Director General of CERN, shares her journey and the importance of fundamental research in addressing global challenges and advancing society.

She discusses her decision to pursue science as a career, the discovery of the Higgs boson and its significance in explaining the origin of mass.
