“This unique and prestigious event is all about collaborating to
solve current problems and the challenges we will face in the
future,” said John Banovetz, 3M Senior Vice President and Chief
Technology Officer. “We are privileged to welcome three Nobel
Laureates to Minnesota to inspire the problem solvers of today and
tomorrow.”
Dr. Mario Molina, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 1995, will engage
with more than a thousand students and researchers during the
two-day event, through lectures, discussion panels and Q&A
sessions held at the University of Minnesota, the Science Museum of
Minnesota and 3M. On the afternoon of April 25, he will be joined
by Nobel Laureates Elizabeth Blackburn and David Gross to discuss
the grand challenges of our time.
"We believe 3M shares our mission to inspire current and future
thinkers to engage in science in line with Alfred Nobel’s vision
and legacy,” said Mattias Fyrenius, CEO of Nobel Media.
The visiting Nobel Laureates are known for their commitment to
supporting the next generation of scientists.
- Mario J. Molina, a Mexico-born chemist,
was co-recipient of the 1995 Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking
role in demonstrating stratospheric ozone depletion.
- Elizabeth Blackburn, an
Australian-American molecular biologist, was co-recipient of the
2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery of
telomerase, the enzyme that replenishes the telomere.
- David Gross, an American theoretical
physicist, was co-recipient of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics for
his role in the discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of
the strong interaction.
Dr. Molina will also participate in a Q&A session with high
school students at the Science Museum of Minnesota.
