This week, we are honored to welcome Sir Richard Roberts, a renowned biochemist and molecular biologist. Sir Richard Roberts received the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his groundbreaking discovery of split genes in eukaryotic DNA and the mechanisms of gene splicing. He will discuss the importance of mentorship, the benefits of stepping out of one's comfort zone, the role of failure in scientific progress, and how a Christmas present sparked his lifelong passion for science.
