A great interview with Pallab Ghosh, a science correspondent for BBC News on Stephen Hawking at the BBC Broadcasting House. Prof. Hawking was not just a brilliant scientist but also an amazing science communicator and a children’s book author. Ghosh is an award-winning science journalist that interviewed notable figures including Neil Armstrong and Tim Berners-Lee. He interviewed Prof Hawing many times and, through his own words, we can understand why the well-known British theoretical Physicist was so loved by the public not just for his scientific work, but also, as a cultural icon that still inspires all of us.
