Tim Hunt, awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, looks upon biology in much the same way as life: in many cases we don't really have a clue what's going on, but we can try to learn more by playing around. In this new podcast episode, he discusses his passion for science, and his talent for spotting good problems and asking good questions.
