'If you think you know everything, you can't learn anything' says Dan Levitan.

When students come into Dan Levitan's lab, he spends most of his time trying to teach them that they don't know everything they think they do. "Knowledge can only be created in an environment where we're open to the possibility that we're wrong," he says. Levitan shares his humble opinion on the best way to help students.
