Starting Careers
Nobel Laureates J. Georg Bednorz, Serge Haroche, Sir Konstantin S. Novoselov as well as medical scientists Amy Shepherd and Lillian Tugume focus on academic and non-academic career paths for scientists, and show what alternative paths are available.
Robert H. Grubbs: Green Chemistry and Catalysis
In this lecture, Nobel Laureate Robert H. Grubbs gives examples of how sustainable catalytic processes can be used for the cost-effective extraction of petroleum carbon and other energy sources, as well as for curbing emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.
William N. Lipscomb: Structural Studies of Enzyme Action
In this lecture “Structural Studies of Enzyme Action” (1980), William N. Lipscomb elucidates the structures of large and complex enzymes and analyzes their regulatory mode of action. In his words “enzymes are not just inert templates on which the reaction occurs (…), enzymes do chemistry”.
Radioactivity and X-rays
The Topic Cluster “Radioactivity and X-rays” introduces the scientific research of radioactive radiation and shows its fields of application for energy generation, in medicine as well as the use of radioactive radiation as a means of warfare.
