The Dalai Lama, Tibetan Monks, and Science

Many Tibetan monks are not familiar with modern math and science, despite the Dalai Lama\u2019s love of the subjects. To remedy this, the program Science for Monks was born - a program that helps Tibetan monks learn astronomy, physics, math, and biology. Today, we are joined by one of the teachers of this program - astronomer Dr. Chris Impey. He talks to us about his experience, what he taught the monks, and what they taught him in return.
