Nobel Prize Conversations

”My stability is my science”

In this podcast episode, conducted in December 2020, Emmanuelle Charpentier speaks about the drive you need as a researcher and what impact awards can have on a career. Her road to the Nobel Prize was a winding journey, and she recalls how science was her stability. She speaks about being ”a typical French student of the 1990s” and what it means to be a perfectionist.

The host of this podcast is nobelprize.org’s Adam Smith.
