SHANTOU, Guangdong - "What's your life like? Are most scientists really like the science nerds in the popular TV series Big Bang?" Wang Gefeng asks Eric Wieschaus, a 1995 Nobel Prize-winner.
The 16-year-old's question begins a free-ranging conversation between the laureate and a dozen teenagers sitting around a table.
Wang is one of 83 high school students who spent three unforgettable days at a camp with eight world-class biomedical scientists, including Wieschaus, at Shantou University in Guangdong province.
