Didier Queloz is a highly passionate person with a broad sense of humour. Instead of becoming a storyteller, he chose to become an astrophysicist. While working on his PhD., he made a discovery that changed astronomy entirely. Together with his professor Michel Mayor, Didier Queloz received the Physics Nobel Prize for this discovery.

In the ETH podcast, he talks about the quandaries of being a young Nobel Laureate. He also talks about his plans at ETH and tells us what he would ask a Martian if he met one.

A transcript of this podcast is available on the ETH podcast websites.
