How do you win a Nobel Prize?

The question on every helicopter parent's mind!

In this special bonus to round off our first season, Dr C sits down with one of the humblest laureates you could imagine, Professor Morten Meldal, to ask what it really takes to win science’s most prestigious prize. We talk curiosity, collaboration, click chemistry, and the long, winding path to discovery… plus the moment Dr C briefly held a Nobel medal before it went back home where it belongs.

To get in touch with Prof Morten Meldal, search for him on google (you'll find him - he's kind of a big deal!)

This is the final episode of Series 1. Stay tuned for the excited explorations into the mad world of talking science with a kid in Series 2, coming later in 2026...
