Sir Paul Nurse, Director of the Francis Crick Institute in London, UK is a Nobel Prize winning geneticist and cell biologist whose research is recognised worldwide, particularly for his contributions to cell biology and cancer research. 

In this insightful interview with our sister publication, Research Features, Nurse discusses the institute’s creative ‘bottom up’ approach to research, his presidency of the Royal Society, science communication, and how he stays grounded despite a staggeringly successful career.

The Royal Society is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence. And the long lives of its presidents caught the attention of Professor Herbert Huppert.

From a teenage enthusiast to a 100-year-old Nobel Prize winner, The Science Show explores the agelessness of wonder.

O que passámos a saber sobre o nosso sistema imunitário com esta pandemia? Procuramos respostas junto do imunologista Caetano Reis e Sousa, investigador do Francis Crick Institute (Londres, Reino Unido), onde lidera um laboratório que procura descobrir como funciona o nosso sistema imunitário, de modo a contribuir para o desenvolvimento de novas vacinas e tratamentos para o cancro. Entre as várias distinções que recebeu ao longo da carreira, Caetano Reis e Sousa foi eleito em 2019 como membro da Royal Society, uma das sociedades científicas mais prestigiadas do mundo, que não tinha sócios portugueses desde o início do século XIX.

Parallel realities and the deep structure of space-time sound like science fiction. These are matters of real scientific inquiry. Lord Martin Rees is an astrophysicist and self-professed atheist who paints a fascinating picture of how we might be changed by what we do not yet know.

Some of the biggest philosophical and ethical questions of this century may be raised on scientific frontiers — as we gain a better understanding of the deep structure of space and time and the wilder “microworld.” Astrophysicist Martin Rees paints a fascinating picture of how we might be changed by what we do not yet know: “If science teaches me anything, it teaches me that even simple things like an atom are fairly hard to understand. And that makes me skeptical of anyone who claims to have the last word or complete understanding of any deep aspect of reality.” This is On Being’s complete, unedited interview with Lord Rees.
