Bildbeschreibung

Prof. Roald Hoffmann

Invited by NCCR Molecular Systems Engineering and the Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation, Chemistry Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann visited Switzerland in May 2022 giving a series of scientific lectures, and also presenting the world premiere of "Alchemy", a melodrama written by him together with Austrian composer Oliver Peter Graber. In this podcast, Roald Hoffmann reveals some very personal episodes from his life which began in 1937 in his (then Polish) birthplace Złoczów and - after World War II led to emigration to the United States.

About this podcast

Art of Molecule is an interdisciplinary framework for ethical discourse which aims to bridge the communication gap between the scientific ivory towers and society at large. In particular, Art of Molecule aims to trigger debate and discourse about the ethical challenges of molecular systems engineering, a cutting-edge combination of chemistry, biology, physics, bioinformatics and engineering, allowing deep interventions into living organisms that are now on the verge of substantially impacting human health and disease-treatment. Progress in this field of Engineering Life (EL) is rapid and raises fundamental ethical questions which ideally should be discussed and answered at the same pace.
