Nobel Prize Conversations
”When a politician gets up and says that we are following the science, the question needs to be what science? Because there are more than one scientific conclusion out there”
What is life? This is a question that has puzzled scientists for centuries, one of the most famous being Erwin Schrödinger. In this podcast episode, conducted in December 2020, we meet Paul Nurse and hear his thoughts on the matter.
The host of this podcast is nobelprize.org’s Adam Smith.
Nobel Prize Conversations was produced with the support of 3M, ABB, Ericsson and Scania.
