Michel Mayor: “Very nice connection, very nice surprise!”

Michel Mayor was in the midst of a lecture tour in Spain when he received the news of his Prize. In this conversation with Adam Smith, which starts on an airport bus and continues in the terminal of San Sebastian airport in Spain, he recalls how he heard about the prize, the care they took back in 1995 before releasing news of the first exoplanet to the world, and the ongoing search for life on other planets.
