What's Behind a Nobel Prize? - Virtual Talk (Email Tours@sciencehistory.org To Book)
Description
Every year, the Nobel Prizes shine a spotlight on a few famous scientists. But hidden just out of the spotlight are the large and diverse teams that make important research happen. In this interactive virtual program, we'll explore who is really "behind the science." Hear stories from the lab, meet unsung individuals who helped shape scientific knowledge, and get inspired by new achievements and discoveries.
Our Virtual Talks are suitable for school groups as well as adult audiences, college classrooms, libraries, and meetup groups/clubs. Following the talk, there will be time for an interactive audience Q&A. Virtual Talks are conducted via Zoom.

Science History Institute
The Science History Institute is a small museum dedicated to the history of the chemical and molecular sciences. We tell the stories behind the science: histories of discovery and innovation, challenge and change. Our collections include scientific instrumentation and tools of the laboratory, artwork related to alchemy and early chemistry, photography and archives, a specialized research library with a rare books collection, and a growing digital collection. Our main museum and permanent exhibition are on the first floor, with an additional upper level mezzanine. We also have a special changing exhibits gallery, and regular “pop-up” exhibits in our ExhibitLab and on the exterior of our building façade; please check our website to see what’s new and currently on view!
Our tours and programs are most suitable for ages 12-13 (7th grade) and up.
