Artful Chatter with Stephen Lam

What are you doing here at MIT?

I am doing nuclear science and engineering.

If you could take any artwork in this room on a date with you, which would it be?

I like the Coca Cola one [Lenin Coca Cola by Alexander Kosolapov]. Well, I enjoy looking at it! I’m not an art person so I can’t really speak to what the image says, but I like what I see. It’s just interesting.

Which would you pick to show your grandfather, which would it be?

I would choose that one, with all the lasers [Placing the target inside Nova, the world’s most powerful laser by Barbara Norfleet]. I work with lasers at MIT. My grandfather doesn’t, so I would show him to show that's what I do.
