John Bardeen isn?t a household name. Despite the fact that he is the only physicist to win two Nobel Prizes, his soft-spoken style and Middle American life have relegated him to forgotten pages of history. Until now. Bardeen?s story is told in ?True Genius: The Life and Science of John Bardeen.? One of the co-authors, Vicki Daitch, joins John to talk about his remarkable contributions to humanity and why he is largely forgotten.
