It is that time of the year when a select few individuals across the globe get calls at unearthly hours from Sweden to tell them that they won the world’s most coveted award. In this episode of The Rearview, we dive into the story of Jagadis Chandra Bose inventor extraordinaire, scientist, teacher, philosopher, pioneering science fiction writer - and alongside Mahatma Gandhi, arguably pretty high up on the long list of people who should have got the Nobel Prize but didn’t. This despite his groundbreaking work in plant physiology and radio waves.
The Rearview is a podcast where the hosts guide you on a scenic route through the history of science. Filled with fascinating anecdotes, deep archival dives, and a closer look at the quirky minds behind groundbreaking ideas.
