      Probably Dirac. He sounds like such a strange character that it’d be really interesting to see what he was like in person!

      Hey, I am not picky- I would actually settle for some living legends. I would like to chat with James Watson- one of the co-discoverers of the DNA helix in the 1950s. Also would like to talk with Craig Venter, he was one of the leaders of the sequencing of the first human genome- a real cowboy of science. He is also working on some fascinating synthetic biology resreach as well. cool stuff.

      If I could go back in time I’d like to go and play the bongos with Richard Feynman, he seemed like he’d be fun to meet as well as super smart.
