How Nobel Laureates Make Breakthroughs
A presentation by Dr. Adam Smith, Chief Scientific Officer, Nobel Prize Outreach AB
Monday, April 7, 2025
4:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Memorial Student Center
Bethancourt Ballroom D&E
What does it take to make fundamental advances? Every pioneer is different and there is, of course, no formula to follow for discovery. But maybe there are clues to an answer in what has been learned from spending the past two decades traveling the world with Nobel Laureates in science, interviewing hundreds of them, talking to them about their work and observing them as they meet thousands and thousands of students across the globe. What did the laureates do right? What did they avoid doing wrong? Are there strategies to be shared? The path to progress is naturally as varied as the scientists themselves, but observing what they have in common, and also what sets them apart, can perhaps help us all find our way to greater success, in whatever we strive to accomplish.
This program will be of interest to educators, upper-level high school students, college undergraduate and graduate students, and university faculty. The program is free and open to the public. Please register to attend.
