Hi there- great interview with Claude M- so interesting. We would love to know when and where is he presenting or giving a talk next? I have checked out his website and was disappointed not to find any info about that at all- infact, in my view- it def needs updating allround! Brilliant stuff he does though and really exciting- my 15 year old daughter was very inspired by it all- hope you can help, thanks!
