Join us for a talk by Ilya Kolmanovsky on Nobeliate Stories: How the Discoveries of 2025 and Past Years Were Made — and Why They Matter - on Mon 13 October.
An evening with Ilya Kolmanovsky will take place one week after the announcement of this year’s Nobel Prizes. These will certainly be on the agenda, and Ilya will also share captivating insights into past Nobel laureates: an expelled Eton pupil once branded a failure; a judo prodigy; the children of Norwegian farmers; an Australian doctor with a kamikaze spirit; the penniless daughter of a Hungarian butcher; and a jet-lagged hunter chasing mutant flies. And, of course, the Cambridge pioneer behind the first “test-tube babies”.
This lecture will be of interest to adults and teenagers.
When: Monday, 13 October 2025, 18:00–20:00 (BST)
