EULOGY… Without an iota of doubt, no other scientist in our current era has touched the public imagination as much as Stephen Hawking did. Beginning with his foundational work on the nature of black holes in the 1960s and 1970s, his ideas have left their mark on generations of physicists and cosmologists. And despite a progressively debilitating illness,
for decades he continued to produce research, travel to conferences and communicate science to the public. The Petri Dish pays this modest tribute to Stephen Hawking.
