Hello bones,
Prof. Steve Sparks at Bristol University is my current science hero, a Professor at 28 (very young!) who has revolutionised the way we think about volcanoes, and how they work. He has published numerous articles in Nature (the top science journal) and his work has been cited 100,000 times apparently, very impressive!
I think a chat with Brian Cox, an astro-physics Professor of science communication at Manchester University, would also be very illuminating, he is presently doing a series on the BBC on The Universe if you have seen it? He has worked at CERN, been in a boy band and now looking at fundamental questions about how the UNiverse works, a very interesting guy!
Some of the (now deceased) scientists of the past would also be fascinating to talk to, and how they came to the new science they did, Einstein would be great to talk to, wouldnt he!

hi Bones
The Curies were pretty impressive. Marie Curie won the nobel prize for physics and chemistry, her husband Peirre won the nobel prize for physics (with marie) and their daughter Irène won the Nobel prize for chemistry. Some family eh ?

Hi Bones,
They would have to be Hans Krebs, for his cycle, which energises me, Talib Rothengatter, for his well balanced work on driver psychology, together with Robert Hooke, for his work on material behaviour (elastic properties of materials, springs and such like).
They would all make for interesting dinner guests.
Mark.
