Information
------------------------------

Who are the modern men and women who will be remembered for the brilliance of their minds? What are your legacy and what you can to tell us his extraordinary discoveries about the nature of science and the nature of truth?
Great minds don't think alike. In fact, the offbeat and complex thinking of a handful of pioneers has led to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our age.
In Beautiful Minds three of Britain's most influential and respected scientists explain how their unique scientific perspectives have redefined how we think about the world around us. Series 2 assembles palaeontologist Jenny Clack, physicist Andre Geim and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkinsto give their unique perspectives on life, the Universe and everything inbetween. They explain what drives this extraordinary passion for science, the inspiration behind the moment of insight, and the possible far-reaching consequences of their discoveries.

2)  Professor Andre Geim
Professor Andre Geim is a condensed matter physicist at the University of Manchester. His life's work has been to gain a better understanding of the materials that make up the world around us. While just one subject can be a scientist's life's work, Andre has made switching fields a feature of his career. But while straying from the conventional path can be risky for a scientist, Andre has repeatedly turned it to his advantage. His "let's try it and see" approach means he's the only individual winner of the both the Nobel and the more light hearted Ig Nobel Prizes. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2010 for uncovering the extraordinary properties of a material called graphene, but Geim can also lay claim to seeding two other new areas of physics research--levitation and gecko tape.
His constant search for new ideas has led to some extraordinary discoveries, from levitating frogs to a tape that sticks to surfaces like a gecko's foot. He reveals how his playful approach to his research helped him uncover the properties of graphene, the world's thinnest material, and won him a Nobel Prize.
