Description

Most of us were learning the alphabet or how to read in kindergarten. But what if you could have been doing scientific experiments? On this episode of Let's Talk Chemistry, hosts Yeongseo Son and Olivia Lambertson talk about their interview with Dr. Danny Schechtman, the 2011 Noble Laureate and Distinguished Professor of Material Science and Engineering at Iowa State University. We talk about transmission electron microscopy, quasicrystals, a science kindergarten, and facing backlash in science. We hope you enjoy! If you would like to know more about Dr. Danny Schectman you can check out his Noble Prize-winning discovery or reach him by email at dannys@iastate.edu.
