Description:	Join us for our next talk in the Office of NIH History lecture series. Erling Norrby, M.D., Ph.D., of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will speak about the changing concept of the gene through the lens of Nobel Prizes awarded in the past century. Dr. Norrby is former chair at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, where he served as dean of the Faculty of Medicine and was involved in the selection process for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 20 years. After leaving the Institute, he became Permanent Secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In this role, he had overriding responsibility for the Nobel Prizes in Physics and in Chemistry. A renowned Nobel scholar, Dr. Norrby is author of five books about the Nobel Prizes, including his most recent, Nobel Prizes: Genes, Viruses and Cellular Signaling, published in 2022. Through these definitive histories, Norrby elucidates fundamental processes underlying life on earth and its interactions, including the origins of molecular biology and genetics. Currently, Dr. Norrby is with the Center for History of Science at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and vice chair of the board of the J. Craig Venter Institute in La Jolla, California. Sure, you can watch the lecture archive later, but nothing beats the live interaction with this remarkable scholar with such in-depth knowledge of the Nobel selection process. The weather is predicted to be sunny and warm on Monday, too. For more information go to https://history.nih.gov Use this link for the lecture Slides
