Abstract

Dr. Terry McGlynn, professor of biology at California State University, Dominguez Hills, discusses the concept of unknown unknowns (things we don't realize that we don't know) as it relates to scientific research. He demonstrates this concept by explaining his own work studying ants in tropical rain forests.
