What do you do at the museum?0:18
I'm the exhibit organiser.0:21
It's my job to organize the exhibits at the museum.0:23
I work with the museum's scientists to develop these exhibits.0:26
Tell us what exhibits are on display now at the museum.0:31
Well, we have all our permanent exhibits and I'm very excited to say that this month's Scientist of the Month is Albert Einstein.0:34
All month long people can visit the museum and learn about Einstein and his work.0:43
Tell us a bit about Einstein.0:50
As we all know, Einstein was a great German physicist and his research was very important.0:53
Not only was Einstein a great scientist, he is a well known person around the world.1:00
He represents intelligence and genius.1:05
However, this was not always true for Einstein.1:08
As a child, Einstein was slow in learning to speak and read.1:13
He did poorly in school at first.1:17
Many of his teachers didn't think he was smart.1:19
This, however, didn't last long as Einstein wrote his first research paper at 16 and showed great talent in science and maths.1:22
Of course, he went on to win the Nobel Prize in physics.1:31
Many people believe he helped invent the atomic bomb.1:35
He wrote a letter to President Roosevelt of the USA about Germany's possible use of nuclear weapons in World War II.1:42
But he never participated in the creation of the bomb.1:49
There is so much I did not know about Einstein.1:53
Yes, he was a fascinating man.1:56
I invite you and your listeners to learn more about him at the museum this month.1:59
