Dr Jay Bhattacharya’s advice
Brian: What would you tell that 30 year old, 20 year old Jay to give him the courage to do as you’ve done, to go into the impossible?
Jay: You know, it’s really easy for young people to be misled. And certainly that was true for me to think that everyone else around you, especially the older people who have distinguished careers, know everything and that they can tell you you’re on to something or not onto something.
I tell that 20 year old, a 30 year old that’s doing science, you know, no one really has all the answers. And if they’re telling, you know, it’s not because they know. No. They just know, that’s the knee jerk reaction. Almost everything is wrong. You need to have some confidence in yourself. You might be right. And all the old guys around you right here might be wrong.
That’s certainly possible. That’s how it advances, right? Is when bad gray hairs like me get proven wrong. And I think that’s a really good thing.
