| Description: What do the Nobel Prizes have to do with everyday life? Are Nobel Laureates extraordinary scientists, or singled out from others equally worthy? During the semester you will read autobiographies, essays, short fiction, and scientific papers, and try many styles of writing. When the 2022 Nobel Prizes are announced in October, we will study press coverage to analyze how scientific discoveries are reported. You will each become an expert on a Nobel laureate, placing scientific achievements in historical context. Our semester will end at the time of the awards ceremonies in Stockholm with our own celebratory banquet. |
