My first idea was to get a high-school snapshot of every prize winner. Well, you and me, I guess. Like physicist William Phillips, honored in 1997 for developing a method of cooling and trapping atoms with lasers, I too ran around the house with a toy microscope when I was a kid, sticking salt crystals and dust bunnies under the lens. Unlike him, though, I didn't grow up to become a Nobel Prize-winner. Bill Phillips seems like a pretty normal guy.
Public programs associated with the exhibition include a planned lecture series by Nobel laureates.
