Tristan Pang is one of New Zealand’s most gifted brains. He enrolled at the University of Auckland at age 12, and completed his degree in Mathematics and Physics at the age of 16 - making him one of the school’s youngest graduates. 

These days, the 24-year-old can be found walking the hallowed halls of Oxford University, where he is completing his PhD in Environmental Science. He joins Jim to chat about life as a student at the oldest university in the English-speaking world.
