  6. The Nobel School

  7. The Nobel School James Watson

  8. James Watson I just like to know why things happen and I think we have inherited this. Curiosity about things, why things happen, can prepare you for how you live in the world.

  9. James Watson and DNA

  10. What DNA enables us to do

  11. What DNA might enable us to do…

  12. Even more amazing… … and all because of James Watson’s curiosity!

  13. Ernest Rutherford The Nobel School

  14. The Atom One of the largest atoms is the caesium atom and 10 million of these would fit between a serration on a postage stamp and the next serration

  15. Ernest Rutherford I know of no more enthralling adventure of the human mind than the voyage of discovery into the almost unexplored world of the atomic nucleus

  16. The Nobel School Marie Curie

  17. Using Marie Curie’s Alpha Particles

  18. Atom Most of the atom is empty space. The rest consists of a positively charged nucleus of protons and neutrons surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.

  19. ‘In the stillness, there is only the dance’TS Eliot All things are made of atoms, little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart but repelling each other upon being squeezed into one another.

  20. If the nucleus were one pea, the atom would be the size of Wembley Stadium! If a nucleus were one pea its atom would be Wembley Stadium and… ten million atoms would fit between each serration on a postage stamp

  21. Ernest Rutherford • Generosity: he did not add his name to many discoveries he initiated • Kindness: he helped scientists and academics escape from Nazi Germany • He is buried in Westminster Abbey

  22. Alexander Fleming Do not wait for fortune to smile upon you; prepare yourself with knowledge

  23. Penicillin Fleming along with two other scientists won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1945 “for the discovery of penicillin and its curative effect on various infectious diseases”

  24. Mother Teresa The Nobel School

  25. Mother Teresa Please don't kill the child. I want the child. Please give me the child. I am willing to accept any child who would be aborted, and to give that child to a married couple who will love the child, and be loved by the child. From our children's home in Calcutta alone, we have saved over 3000 children

  26. In Calcutta People suffer. They have forgotten how to smile, they have forgotten the beauty of the human touch. They need someone who will understand and respect them.

  27. Alexander Fleming The Nobel School

  28. Mother Teresa I am grateful to accept the Nobel Prize in the name of the hungry, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved and uncared-for throughout society, people shunned by everyone.

  29. TS Eliot Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat Mr. Mistofellees Macavity, the Mystery Cat Old Deuteronomy The Jellicle Cats

  30. Martin Luther King The Nobel School

  31. The Nobel School T.S. Eliot

  32. T S Eliot We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we first started And know the place for the first time.

  33. Amartya Sen about TS Eliot Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the life we have lost in the living? TS Eliot

  34. Where is the life we have lost in the living?

  35. Alexander Fleming When given the Noble prize, he was praised for co-operation (he sent his mould to other laboratories), for scientific enthusiasm and for firm belief in an idea

  36. The Nobel School

  37. You cannot evaluate what is happening in an economy or a society without looking at people who are on the downside and not just those who are doing well and prospering. Amartya Sen

  38. Amartya Sen The Nobel School
