Students will be introduced to professional culture and practice in all of these settings. Through reading and analysis of a few series of seminal papers from the 1800's to the present leading to Nobel Prizes in Chemistry or Physics, students will learn how scientific inquiry and writing has evolved over time. Through discussion and practice, students will learn how to communicate chemistry in multiple platforms.
