THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 45/50 )

My guest tonight has dominated this week's headlines. He is to science what Mozart is to music. T.S. Spivet, just ten years old, and he had sprinted ahead of legions of scientists to win this year's coveted Baird Award.

Tell me T.S., How does a ten years old win the Baird Award? It actually already existed. But, we needed to invented was a system to ... At an age when most ten year olds are climbing trees, what do you do for fun? Trigonometry?

I like climbing trees.

OK.You've been conducting scientific experiments since the age of four.Last year, one of those went tragically wrong and resulted in the death of your twin brother, Layton.
