When Scientific Luminaries Interact with Students

One of the most effective methods for exposing young minds to scientific pursuits is providing them a platform to interact with scientific luminaries. We can hold hackathons, competitions, field trips, seminars, and symposiums, but nothing is more illuminating than close personal interactions with people whose works have contributed enormously to the advancement of knowledge. The triumphs and the tribulations of these scientists can provide immensely valuable perspectives to participants.
