After a packed week of Nobel Prize coverage, Lester and Krishna
look back on how From First Principles began and why they built it
as an “ESPN for Science.” They revisit 2025’s Medicine, Physics and
Chemistry winners and discuss why fundamental research and
immigration policy are core to America’s scientific edge. Quick
note: this week’s episode is in vertical format because of a
technical hiccup during recording — back to widescreen next week!
Summary Origin Story — Two Princeton friends from different
continents unite around a shared love of science and storytelling.
The Mission — Creating an “ESPN for Science” that celebrates
research and the people behind it. Nobel Follow-ups — Medicine
(Tregs and non-immune roles), Physics (macroscopic quantum
tunneling and quantum supremacy), Chemistry (MOFs and industrial
scaling). Funding + Immigration — Why public research grants and
curating global talent are vital to scientific leadership. Show
