Sir Harry Kroto is the Francis Eppes Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Florida State University. He is also the co-discoverer of C60, the Buckminster fullerene molecule, which is a cage molecule with 60 carbon atoms. His parents were refugees and his father wanted him to focus on his math and science studies as a child. He recalls playing with a Meccano set and receiving good marks in chemistry and physics. He visits with Keith Pannell in this edition of Science Studio.

Joseph Francisco is a prominent chemist and atmospheric scientist known for his groundbreaking research on atmospheric chemistry, including the study of chemical processes on cloud surfaces and in aerosols. He is a professor of chemistry at Purdue University. As a child he was more interested in music until he discovered a book on science fairs. Not knowing much about science fairs led him to the grounds of Lamar University where he met a professor that was studying environmental chemistry. He shares with Keith Pannell and Science Studio how that encounter changed his trajectory.
