Carolyn Bertozzi: Nobel Prize Conversations

“Your purpose as a scientist is not to achieve fame or money, that is not your purpose, those might be side effects and good for you, that could be wonderful for you but it is a side effect, it is not the main goal. The main goal is to make discoveries and gift them to humanity. And those discoveries and that knowledge stays with humanity long after you are gone.” - Carolyn Bertozzi on the scientist's purpose.
Meet chemist and 2022 Nobel Prize laureate Bertozzi. In this episode she speaks about her two life-long loves: organic chemistry and music. Her love of music lead to her playing in a college rock band with Tom Morello whilst her love of organic chemistry earned her a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2022. Bertozzi also speaks about her desire to create a diverse and open lab environment and how important that is for research. A true advocate of diversity, she sees clearly the advantages derived from diverse ideas and perspectives.

I had this same feeling taking Organic Chem but was so overwhelmed with all other classes and work to really teach myself and learn it. That said, my teacher, who I’m basically paying for, literally lectured classes reading straight from that damn book. We need need a teach who has this persons mindset teaching.

what an interesting insight about the "politics" and culture of science in that situation anyway. A great and fresh view of how to inspire students. When publishing was mentioned it raised my ire about the aspect regarding paywalls of research papers, how counterproductive they are for society. My view, and I am an uneducated person, is that they should be outlawed via the world trade organisation. How dare a profit margin be introduced by the international publishing houses.
