    On the week before the Nobel Prize announcements, Nick takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the life of one of his science heroes, and famous Ukrainian scientist, George Gamow. Listen in and find out how this peripatetic physicist tried to escape Stalin's Russia by rowing across the Black Sea from Crimea (!), how he really should have won a Nobel, but didn't, and about when he saved his friend Max Born from being hanged. Meanwhile, Steve's gone part time at work (also called a sabbatical) so he can flog his microscopes in his new start up - get the inside track on how he made it happen and find out exactly how big his bank balance now is!!!
