At the halfway point of the season, Karin Svensson and Adam Smith reflect on what they have learned from conversations with Nobel Prize laureates and why there is no single mould for a successful scientist.
They discuss the challenge of explaining complex ideas, the importance of embracing uncertainty and the sense of wonder that drives discovery.
They also provide a sneak peek of the conversations to come: quantum physics, artificial intelligence, and literature.
