I was always curious about how scientists became who they are.Â
What was it that sparked their interest in science? Did they have any influences, or mentors early on? Were they the first from their family to become a scientist? What else do they enjoy in life?
In 2024, I had a chance to talk to several physicists about their paths in physics. Some of them are my good friends, some are colleagues, and some I had never talked to before. These conversations were edited (a little), and are shared below.
