“If I were at work right now, I’d be paid to have these thoughts.” With that thought, Zack Booth Simpson dropped out of high school ? then started reading biology textbooks and designing video games. Now he’s at a university ? not as a student, but as a researcher, combining living organisms with computer programming. Produced by Lindsay Patterson.
