CONVERSATIONS

Some of my first conversations when I came to Imperial College with diverse people doing diverse work: some working on vast international projects, others in small groups or partnerships; some are PhD students, beginning their careers and others are seasoned experts. They are written up mostly in the form of an essay attempting to capture the essence and narrative of the discussion and find a resonance. Shown with the kind permission of the scientist.
