"I'm supposed to teach at 9 this morning," say Moungi Bawendi in this call recorded in the early morning, just after the news of his 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry had reached him, "and I'm not sure what's going to happen!" Bawendi tells the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith how he received the call, speaks about his co-laureate and mentor Louis E. Brus, and discusses what he tries to teach his students.
