Dr. Sharon Stills interviews Dr. James Lyons-Weller PhD, a biomedical research scientist who broke free of academia to engage in true science through his nonprofit organization, The Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge (IPAK). His pursuit of lifelong learning began early after the loss of his mother to breast cancer. From Coley’s Toxins, to his plan to ‘Plan B’ in creating an independent neural network of independent scientists, there is a path for anyone aligned with IPAK’s mission “to work to reduce human pain and suffering through knowledge without profit motive.”
