Pioneers in Science: Lee Berger

Great minds inspire greatness. Our Pioneers in Science program offers high school students a path toward greatness through a rare opportunity to interact with world-renowned scientists. This year, students from around the globe got to engage with Lee Berger, one of the world's top paleoanthropologists. Professor Berger discovered an ancient skull in the Rising Star Cave in South Africa, and since then, more than 1,200 more fossils have been unearthed, contributing to our understanding of human evolution. During this intimate gathering, students had the opportunity to ask Professor Berger about his career, inspirations, and what he hopes to discover next.
