Natural History Museum of Utah
The Wilkes Center and the College of Science are excited to host Nobel Laureate STEVEN CHU for the annual Frontiers of Science lecture!

Science does not always advance with a clear vision. Scientific trajectories, and more generally, the course of one’s life, seldom follow predictable paths. In this Frontiers of Science lecture, Steven Chu will talk about the many turns in his career beginning with his days as a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, Bell Labs, Stanford, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, the Department of Energy and his return to Stanford testing fundamental theories of physics, laser cooling and trapping of atoms, atom interferometry, single molecule biology and polymer physics, and more recently, clean energy research. Chu's presentation will focus on recent experiments on a new method to capture CO2 and understanding the physics of how the molecular motor dynein works.
Please RSVP for this Frontiers of Science lecture below by February 12.
