Max Perutz: interview
http://www.vega.org.uk/video/programme/1
A young man in his 17 claimed that only winning a Nobel prize can justify his career change from inheriting his father's textile factory to studying Chemistry. A researcher spent 22 years to elucidate one protein's structure, which has several thousands of atoms and was quite beyond any scientist's imagination at that time. A man finally proved that oxygen carrying ability of Haemoglobin comes from its structure and relevant chemical bonds. A pioneering biophysicist finally earned his Nobel prize in 1962, and was the founder of the Laboratory for Molecular Biology in Cambridge, the birthplace of modern molecular biology. It is nobody but Max Perutz.
He also gave some useful tips how to run a scientifically active research group, how to choose a research topic and how to run a seminar to reward everybody.
I am quite surprized to find that this great man had a unforgetable experience of being in prison of citizens of enemy countries in Canada for several years during the World War II. Amazingly, he, united with other scientists, opened a prison university to give bright kids a education even in such a distressing time.
