First reactions | Moungi Bawendi, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023 | Telephone interview

"I'm supposed to teach at 9 this morning," say Moungi Bawendi in this call recorded in the early morning, just after the news of his 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry had reached him, "and I'm not sure what's going to happen!" Bawendi tells the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith how he received the call, speaks about his co-laureate and mentor Louis E. Brus, and discusses what he tries to teach his students.

he's french american tunisian, tunisia didn't give him anything, fikou 3la wadh3kom, and stop attributing his success to Tunisia while the latter didn't do anything for him.

[@Pablo24000]

He is born in France 😂

[@markkuuss]

He grew up and received an education in the US. Besides, his mom is French and was born in France. He's originally from tunisia but not quite "tunisian".

I guess it was Allah´s wish that he moved with his family to the U.S. It was for sure a great help that his father was a mathematician who saw a better chance by leaving Tunisia and stop by in Paris, France before reaching the U.S. As usual, some distant relatives may surface when he gets successful and known all over the world. A great chain of good decisions he made. Congratulations!
