Summary
Imagine the conversation if some of the world's greatest minds in the sciences and arts convened in one room. In this program, host Sarah Montague moderates a unique, interdisciplinary round table discussion among seven 2008 Nobel Laureates: biochemists Martin Chalfie and Roger Tsien; physicist Makoto Kobayashi; virologists Luc Montagnier and Francoise Barre-Sinoussi; economist Paul Krugman; and novelist Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio. The Laureates discuss their own achievements, as well as issues of global concern, such as the impact of an ongoing economic crisis on science and society, the influence of a new American president, and how their discoveries and contributions may be further advanced.
