David MacMillan's Nobel Prize lecture in chemistry

[@KingKong-lm5vf]

He is a good man. He mentioned other important players of organocatalysis.

A layman can also understand his lecture, very inspirational.

Catherine from Kenya, I just love the way scientists are making science environmentally friendly!

As a wee lass growing up in East Lothian from a family not that dissimilar than yours, thank you. Although I am currently doing a PhD in music, I have a couple of science MSc's and have a deep and abiding love of organic chemistry. On Saturday, I heard a BBC Radio Scotland half hour interview you gave and you spoke of seeing organic molecules in 3D. You are the only person I have ever heard talking about what I conceive as a movie in my head of organic reactions. My Kekule moment came when I was at what is now Abertay University doing undergraduate research on deoxyvasicinone. It forms a phenomenally stable ion. It was a 3D head movie that provided the explanation of that stability and, hence, why every time we tried to react it, we formed a yellow salt. I love the way you conveyed how you are only part of the story amongs many others and how advances are down to incredibly hard and often boring work to get the Kekule moments! Thank you.

I’m really grateful that I can write my thesis on this incredibly interesting topic. Thanks to all the people for revolutionizing this part of chemistry!

With reference of your dynamic publications, I have gained sound experience in organophotoctalysis as doctoral student. I feel very proud. Amazing presentation... 🎊🎊

Fantastic speech. I laughed (particularly) hard at 18:53. Been a huge fan for a very long time and especially of the newer photocatalysis! Greetings from Germany.

[@Peperm100]

The real joke comes at around 19:18!

[@shelkeshubham5226]

How easily he explained !

[@tea_earl-grey-hot]

Quite a simplistic presentation. Didn't Professor Enders from Bonn University work on that, too?

[@leonid_bytsyura]

Great speech! Thanks!

[@youssefabderrazak3161]

Great talk!

[@shanmugapriyaig8521]

Super mind blowing lecture. Thank you sir

[@SKD1947]

Awesome explanation 👍🌸

[@thayhuongchuyenhoalekhietq6803]

That's a great lecture!

[@md.galibhossain5587]

amazing sir!!

[@phillipaustin3035]

I think had something to do with sapecetic materials.

[@mahdighafrnezhad3299]

The speach was really great and motivative 🌷

EXPANDING UNIVERSE.MENTIONED IN HOLY QUR'AN 1500 YEARS AGO ALMIGHTY ALLAH THE ORIGINATOR TO THE UNIVERSE AND CREATOR OF THE MANKIND Who can claim 1350 years ago that the universe is expending? والسماء بنينها بايد و انا لموسعون o " And the heaven We built it with power, and indeed, We are the expander " (And We it is Who make the vast extent, thereof ) (Qur'an, 51:47) Until 1931, physicist Albert Einstein believed that the universe was static. An urban legend attributes this change of perspective to when American astronomer Edwin Hubble showed Einstein his observations of redshift in the light emitted by far away nebulae - today known as galaxies. After Hubble discovered that the universe was expanding, Einstein called the cosmological constant his "greatest blunder." At around the same time, larger telescopes were being built that were able to accurately measure the spectra, or the intensity of light as a function of wavelength, of faint objects. Almighty Allah is the Creator of the whole universe.He says: Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile, the Aware. The knowledge of scientists is very limited and insufficient to understand the universe! ! Recently NASA launched JWST. This telescope will see the beginning of the universe and how it evolved. Today the scientists accepted that they know very little about the universe. DR.MOHAMMAD LAEEQUE NADVI Ph.D. (Arabic Lit.) M.A. Arabic Lit.
