2022 Chemistry Laureate Carolyn Bertozzi Shares Inspiring Advice for Young Scientists
The Nobel Prize recently shared an encouraging post on LinkedIn:
”A personal message from 2022 chemistry laureate Carolyn Bertozzi to all young researchers on why to aspire to a career in science:
‘I would want to share with them how a life in science is incredibly rewarding. It is rewarding because it is creative. You are discovering knowledge and gifting that to humanity for all of posterity. Once you learn something no one can take that away. It is not an object. It is an intellectual currency that will be shared throughout the generations. And you created that. It has a permanence that ironically a physical object doesn’t have. You can paint a painting, but eventually it will fade. But knowledge doesn’t fade. Knowledge stays with us forever and it becomes the foundation for the next generations.’ ”
In this personal message to aspiring researchers, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi emphasized the creativity and lasting impact of a life in science.
She encourages young scientists to pursue discovery, highlighting that knowledge is a permanent gift to humanity, unlike physical creations that may fade over time.
Carolyn Bertozzi describes scientific knowledge as an intellectual currency that endures across generations, forming the foundation for future discoveries.
