Hello all,
I just wanted to let you all know about a project that I'm working on that might be of particular interest to my fellow PSCI-COM members - the Nobel Prize Inspiration Initiative (NPII).
NPII aims to inspire and communicate with a global audience of scientists, at all stages of their career, by sharing personal insights of Nobel Laureates.
Several NPII events have
already taken place, and in each, a Nobel Laureate visits a number
of Universities and participates in a series of lectures, Q&A
sessions and discussion panels, with particular emphasis on promoting informal
interactions with younger scientists.
The video content captured during each event has now (finally) been made public via a new site (launched on Monday 23rd September): http://www.nobelprizeii.org/
This site currently contains 140 short (and we hope, inspirational!) clips of Nobel Laureates in conversation with young scientists. We have even more great clips in waiting in the wings that we will share soon, and another event before Christmas.... this is just the start!
The Laureates share their insights on everything from communicating research and career options to maintaining a good work-life balance. And if you've ever wondered what being awarded a Nobel Prize means to a scientist, you'll find some interesting answers on there too.
We are really proud of the site and think that we've captured some invaluable clips that will engage and inspire a generation of scientists. I'd love to get as much traffic to the site as possible, and to start some discussions on individual videos, so please have a look and let me know what you think.
We also have a Twitter account and a FB page - it would be great if you could follow / like us there too!
Thanks a million,
Laurie Winkless
