Is it noteworthy he spoke to Nash?

On October 19, 2014, in the context of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy's inaugural Albertine festival, Villani appeared in conversation with the Nobel Prize winning mathematician John F. Nash, Jr.

This really jumped out to me reading the article. Do we usually record who Nash conversed with? The context given is quite limited and my only takeaway from it is that "he once spoke to Nash"... 2A02:1406:B:3BBA:C97F:6D7E:44FB:1714 (talk) 23:33, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
