First reactions | Carolyn Bertozzi, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022 | Telephone interview

As just illustrated by the Covid pandemic, says Carolyn Bertozzi, “Chemistry is such an exciting area of science for people who want to have an impact.” This call with Adam Smith, recorded immediately after the public announcement of her Nobel Prize, caught her just before the world started descending on her home in California. As the 8th female Nobel Prize laureate in chemistry, she says “I can’t help but think about all the women that came before me that didn’t have the opportunity to be recognised.” But her view of the future is bright: “I’m very optimistic about how science, and the culture of science, is trending.”

''I can’t help but think about all the women that came before me that didn’t have the opportunity to be recognised.” These words herald the empowered women yet to be recognised. So inspiring!

Hugest congratulations to Dr. Bertozzi! As a very late bloomer in science, it’s women like Dr. Bertozzi who give me so much hope and inspiration to keep going and keep making space for curiosity to drive any and all momentum forward. So, so chuffed for her and so grateful for her contributions to chemistry.

Indian education system must transform from "byhearting" stage to "exploring state"... Congrats

[@LeviAckerman-hs2sl]

I am a 11 grade student and there's already so much pressure for JEE. We are not allowed to think, to explore out own ideas instead we get stuck in this competition which doesn't develop our mind more. I really hate this education system. They should give us some room for exploring new ideas, having our own thoughts. thinking out of box, experimenting having the grasp of what we are actually doing but no .

where is prof k. barry sharpless video cannot find at the channel?

[@mmesomauzoma297]

I guess he wasn't interviewed.

[@kunjvachhani5303]

I just lover her she is so intelligent and also so beautiful and she sounds so confident in this call. Even though I am a person who is fan no Physics I love women in Chemistry Carolyn, Arnold Francis , Marie Curie (also a physicist) I love these women 💕

[@shaipshiverya1944]

Congratulations 🎉 .. For your contribution and work and all those sleepless nights finally paid off. I wish women's no. to kicked up too.

[@amrit6719]

She is first openly LGBTQ+ person to win Nobel prize in chemistry 🤍💜

[@raitaluna9142]

She is lesbian Isn't it? I just love her

[@bastiwala0808]

Congratulations mam. But I am not agree of the title. In pandemic what was the role of chemistry in rescue the world.

Is this really the proper/respectful time to speak of her sex. Outrageous, only a sewer rat would do such dirt. Respect ones privacy please. As for me and mine, we are so thrilled for her and all of mankind. Thank you Carolyn Bertozzi from the depths of our heart.

[@JAMESBONDiitkgp]

Congrats !! but this is overestimated statement. All chemistry and reaction are quantum controlled. You have to go to the root and more fundamental level...which is nothing but quantum physics and quantum rule that propels whole universe, cellular activity and whatever chemical reaction it is.. So chemistry is not a central. Its all quantum science.
