Nobel Winner to Deliver Public Lecture on Einstein
COLLEGE STATION —
For anyone who’s ever wondered what Albert Einstein was like in his youth, enlightenment is just around the theoretical corner, courtesy of one Nobel laureate analyzing another.
On Wednesday, Mar. 30, Dr. Dudley R. Herschbach, 1986 Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry and Professor of Physics at Texas A&M University, will present Einstein as a Student at 7 p.m. in the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center on the Texas A&M campus. The free presentation, which is open to the public, is sponsored by the Department of Physics and the Institute for Quantum Studies.
Herschbach, one of the world’s top molecular chemists, shared the Nobel Prize with two other scientists for their work in detailing how chemical reactions take place in molecules. He will begin teaching in the Department of Physics in the fall as only the third Nobel laureate in the University’s 129-year history.
Free tickets for the lecture are available through the Memorial Student Center Box Office at (979) 845-1234. MSC Box Office hours are Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
