Nobel Prizes for Science and Medicine have been awarded since 1901. In this workshop, participants will explore the winners in the four categories: Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine and the additional Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences (in Memory of Alfred Nobel). Participants will investigate what the winners discovered and what the impact of the discovery has been. There are many topics to choose from–for medicine alone the Prize has been awarded 114 times. Recently, in 2023, Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for their discovery that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19. Regardless of your background, this workshop will provide the opportunity to discuss groundbreaking discoveries and ensure valuable insights.
