THE World Academic Summit 2016: Nobel prizewinner Saul Perlmutter in conversation with Phil Baty

In a wide ranging interview at the Times Higher Education World Academic Summit with Phil Baty, editor of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, Nobel Laureate (Physics 2011) and University of California, Berkeley professor Saul Perlmutter discusses his major academic breakthrough (the discovery that the expansion of the universe is accelerating) and the current implications for research and teaching in today’s higher education environment. Professor Perlmutter says that his breakthrough would not have happened in today’s research environment, where the demand for predictable, short-term outcomes is stifling creativity. He also talks about his commitment to undergraduate teaching at Berkeley.
