Meeting Room 32: 3rd Floor

We’re all inspired by the good ideas that come from academia. However, putting them into practice in real life reveals layers of complexity and obstacles. Sometimes, these obstacles make you want to quit; other times, they plot your course, leading you to discoveries and new opportunities. Sometimes, the obstacle is the way.
