Nobel laureates aiming to spur creativity / Shirakawa, Tanaka to give students lecture
Research is important for scientists, but it is also important that they share their knowledge with the public, and people to better understand the subject, he said.
Shirakawa graduated from the Science and Engineering Department of Tokyo Institute of Technology, where he obtained a doctorate in engineering in 1966.
In 2000, he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of conductive polymers.
Our previous post, Scientists and Students, discussed having practicing scientists address students. Scientist say they are too busy and do not get credit for such efforts - hopefully these Nobel prize winners can help show how important such direct contact can be.
