New laureate Michel Mayor was on a lecture tour in Spain when he heard the news about his Nobel Prize in Physics. Here Mayor is in the cafeteria of San Sebastian airport, looking at all the messages flooding in!
I think "now I can die happy" applies to nobody more than the lifelong physicist who in the twilight of their career learns they won the most prestigious global award for their life's work. Incredible!
I like how we make Nobel prizes a big thing in the news, yet he can sit in an airport seemingly without being interrupted by random people that recognize him.
