Hello and welcome to ETY Podcast, Voices on the World of Work.

This is a very special episode.

We have the honor of having with us Nobel Prize in Physics, Klaus Hasselman.

He has just been very recently awarded with a special prize.

And he will be joined by Suzanne Hasselman Bart, mathematician and also Klaus's partner.

And they will be interviewed by Frank K Clan Kimmbe, education officer here at the Institute. Thanks for listening.

Okay, Klaus, I've heard that you have been really surprised when you receive this call from the

Royal Swedish Academy of Science. Could you just tell me more about that? How it happened?

Well, I received this telephone call and Susanna was there and watched me and I couldn't really believe it.

I didn't know what was going on and

but finally understood that I received this prize.

So I was really very pleased and very surprised.

And yeah, that's essentially, Suzanne, we can probably explain

better what I said, but I was somewhat confused. Why this prize? Why did they award you this Nobel

Prize in physics? You should probably ask them. I don't really know, because I worked on the climate,

of course, for several years, and one of the first people who pointed out that man was changing climate,

I think that's probably the reason I got the prize.

So, yes, I guess that was the reason.

And I've been working on climate for many years,

and this came as quite a surprise for me.

The climate issue is very important nowadays,

and you played a very important role in climate detection, actually.
