Nobel Prize biologist François Jacob about night science, "Day science employs reasoning that meshes like gears, where each step follows from the previous one. It is effective. It advances. But it proceeds only because night science exists. It is in the dark of night that science comes closest to its goals. It is there that it reveals itself, probing, groping, resting on intuition, on flashes of insight, on leaps into the unknown."

This week comedian Shane Mauss travels to NYU Medical School to catch up with his friend Atia Yania as they have a laugh-filled conversation about creativity and fun being an essential part of insights even when trying to study something as serious and deadly as cancer.

Itai Yanai is a biomedical scientist and Founding Director of the Institute for Computational Medicine at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He is also a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at NYU.
