Anne L'Huillier: Watching electrons and winning Nobel Prizes mid-lecture

Hi Darling!This week I'm bringing you a conversation with Anne L'Huillier,  to talk about the science of attosecond pulses… and the very human journey behind them. Anne is a French-born physicist who works as a Professor in atomic physics at Lund university in Sweden and was the fifth woman to ever win the Nobel Prize for Physics. In this interview we discuss the physics behind watching electrons and how attosecond light pulses help us to 'film' them. Anne's path into physics, her love of teaching and the reality of being a woman in physics over the last 40 years. And, of course, Anne describes what it's like to be a Nobel Laureate and the moment she got the call - in the middle of teaching a lecture!This is a conversation about physics and teaching but also resilience, curiosity and the human side of being one of the top scientists in the world. Until next time, Darling!@alexthephysicist
