GFP and other fluorescent prot eins revolutionized the biological sciences by allowing scientists to look at the inner workings of living cells.\n\nThe story shows how scientific progress is often made: through accidental discoveries\, the willingness t o ignore previous assumptions\, and the combined efforts of many people.\n \nThe lecture is part of the Nobel Prize Inspiration Initiative. \n\nPleas e register HERE. \n\n \n DTSTART:20190926T180000Z DTEND:20190926T193000Z LOCATION:Pollack Hall\, 555 Sherbrooke Street West\, Montreal\, QC H3A 1E3 SUMMARY:‘GFP: Lighting Up Life’ - A lecture with Nobel Laureate Dr. Martin Chalfie URL:/research/channels/event/gfp-lighting-life-lecture -nobel-laureate-dr-martin-chalfie-300194 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
