Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been honoring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and for work in peace. The foundations for the prize were laid in 1895 when Alfred Nobel wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel Prize.
This event, organized through the Science@RCC initiative, will review last year’s Nobel Prizes in Science: physics (for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves), chemistry (for developing cryo-electron microscopy for the high-resolution structure determination of biomolecules in solution), and physiology or medicine (for the discovery of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm).
The speakers will briefly go through the key aspects of each of the fields’ discoveries that lead to this important distinction, established, in words of Alfred Nobel himself, “for the Greatest Benefit to Mankind”.
Speakers: Oscar Viyuela García. RCC Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard University & Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Sara García Linares. RCC Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard Medical School; Miguel Marín Rodero. RCC Fellow, Master Candidate at Harvard Medical School.
