Dear Sir/Madam,
In conjunction with next year’s Global Young Scientists Summit@one-north (GYSS@one-north), NUS is hosting a panel discussion on “Science and Society”.
Date: 20 January 2014 (Monday)
Time: 6:30pm (Light refreshments will be served from 6pm)
Venue: LT35, MD6 - Centre for Translational Medicine
We are privileged to have 3 eminent scientists on the panel:
· Prof Hartmut Michel
- A biochemist by training, Prof Michel received the 1988 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for unravelling how a membrane-bound protein active in photosynthesis is built up.
· Prof Stephen Smale
- One of the best known American mathematicians, Prof Smale was awarded the Fields Medal in 1966 for his work on topology in higher dimensions.
· Dr John Robin Warren
- Dr Warren is an Australian pathologist who is credited with the 1979 re-discovery of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, together with Barry Marshall. He proved that the bacterium is the cause of stomach ulcers and also helped develop a convenient diagnostic test for detecting H. pylori in ulcer patients. In 2005, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
