Interwoven stories from a Tan lens

14. Behind Closed Eyes
Meet my friend Ozzy: neuroscientist, engineer, and entrepreneur; a true adventurer both inside and outside the lab.

This is a story about patience, collaboration, and what it takes to carry an idea across the fragile space between academia and impact.
