You’re Abdus Salam! Your heart thrills as you contemplate the small mysteries of the universe, which you prefer to do on a cold, brisk morning walk with your old English bulldog pup. Better yet, you are excited to share your knowledge and enthusiasm with the world on any morning.
Abdus Salam was a renowned theoretical physicist who made major efforts toward increasing the physics community in his native Pakistan and in other underrepresented countries. He became a Nobel Laureate in 1979 for his contributions to the electroweak unification theory.
