Extractions: IOANNIS MARCUS MARCI LECTURE On September 5, a special invited lecture will be given by the Nobel laureate Sir Harold W. Kroto. This lecture is held under the auspices of the Ioannis Marcus Marci Society (the Czech Spectroscopic Society). The abstract of the lecture follows here: Science: A Round Peg In A Square World Sir Harold W. Kroto, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK. Science (including technology) is the dominant culture of the 20th Century and seems set to dominate the 21st even more. However scientific advances are only made by intellectual endeavour as are advances in the Arts. These cultural aspects are continually overlooked as society exploits scientific knowledge without understanding it. This results in not only the injudicious use the fruits of scientific advances but also the misapplication of resources for research. Symmetry patterns are intrinsic to all aspects of perception and seem to play an essential role in the creative process in both the sciences and the arts. Without an awareness of the importance of such abstract concepts to the cathartic responses that underpin human endeavor it is unlikely that the present desperate attempts being made to improve the quantity and the quality of achievements (in scientific research and development or the arts) will be particularly successful. Scientists have made an outstanding impact on all aspects of everyday life, so much so that governments and their advisors have systematically, since the 2nd World War, taken more-and-more control of the direction of science and exerted pressures on scientists to become more-and-more relevant to what they (governments) deem to be important. This has led to the present crisis in that the eternal and interminable debate on the value of fundamental science versus applied science is no longer comparative - the question is whether any fundamental science should carried out at all. The definition of fundamental science may need clarification and two cases which highlight the importance of free access to information and the elimination of secrecy may help - The discoveries of platinum anti-cancer drugs and C

Extractions: Google News about your search term Sir Harold Walter Kroto (born October 7 ) is an English chemist He was born Harold Krotoschiner in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire , England. Kroto believes that the city of Krotoszyn (spelled Krotoschin when the area belonged to Germany ) in Poland was the origin of the family. Both his parents were born in Berlin Germany and came to Britain in their 30s as refugees; Kroto's father was Jewish and so they needed to escape the Nazis. He was raised in Bolton, Lancashire, England. In the family name was shortened to Kroto. As a child, he became fascinated by a Meccano set (called Erector in the USA), which he credits with developing skills useful in scientific research. He was raised Jewish, but the religion never seemed to fit his own beliefs, and he has become a strong atheist . He developed an interest in chemistry physics , and mathematics in secondary school, and because his chemistry teacher in sixth form (last year of secondary school) believed that the University of Sheffield had the best chemistry department in the United Kingdom, he went to Sheffield.
Extractions: Research By None Editor's Note: Last month, Sir Harold Kroto, the Royal Society Research Professor at the University of Sussex in Brighton, U.K., along with Richard E. Smalley, the Hackerman Professor of Chemistry at Rice University and Robert F. Curl, Jr., also a professor of chemistry at Rice, received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in Stockholm. They were honored for their discovery of buckyballs, the now-famous soccer-ball-shaped molecules named for architect R. Buckminster Fuller and his geodesic domes. The 60-carbon-atom molecules are also called fullerenes. Since the discovery of C almost 12 years ago, "buckyballs" have captured the imagination of scientists and the public alike. At first the existence of buckyballs drew much skepticism, but over the last decade they have grown into a flourishing area of research. Few stories in the annals of contemporary science provide a stronger argument for pursuing fundamental research than the discovery of C . In the early 1970s, Kroto hatched a research program at the University of Sussex to seek long chains of carbon in interstellar space. During 1975-78 this effort eventually led to the detection of several different carbon chains, including HC

Extractions: As the pace of scientific discovery continues at breakneck speed, the gap widens between the public's and scientists' understanding of science. And, with research revealing that barely half of U.S. high school seniors meet even basic science requirements, the prospects for the situation improving in the near future appear bleak. The myriad scientific findings in the last decade have stimulated and increased media coverage, but the lament among scientists about the media, says Nobel laureate Sir Harold W. Kroto , is the same: "They just don't get it right." More than seven years ago, Kroto decided to do something about filling the gap. "Most of the decisions about what science is shown on television are made by nonscientists who are more interested in form than content. There is an assumption there that people can assess the place and importance of scientific culture without understanding it. And that is a disturbing aberration," Kroto asserts.

The discovery opened a new branch of chemistry, and all three men were awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their work. In Sep 1985 Curl met with Kroto of the University of Sussex, Eng., and Smalley, a colleague at Rice, and, in 11 days of research, they discovered fullerenes.
