Hi,

I'm doing a report for someone who'll interview a recent Physics Nobel prize winner. Part of the report involves gathering questions that science undergraduates/graduates might want to ask him. I wonder if this forum is a good place to get them. Any question will be appreciated and you could be notified when the interview goes online.

Thanks,
Ioan

p.s. you can also send me a private message from User CP
