Peter Agre, vice chancellor for science and technology and winner of the 2003 Nobel Prize for chemistry, will give his Nobel Prize lecture to the Duke community on Thursday, Dec. 1.
The lecture will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Bryan Center Von Canon Room. A reception will follow. The lecture is open to the entire Duke community.
"The Nobel Week is held in Stockholm every year at the beginning of December," says Agre. "I felt that this is the best time for me to share my Nobel Lecture with all members of the Duke community. I will present the same talk that I gave in Stockholm two years ago. It should be easily understood by scientists as well as non-scientists."
Agre hopes that this lecture could be the start of an annual tradition of recognizing Nobel Week at Duke.
