Listen to the Bloomberg Businessweek podcast as Bloomberg News Higher-Education Finance Reporter Janet Lorin and Hosea Nelson, Professor of Chemistry at Cal Tech, discuss why chemistry and science should be taught to encourage students and not to weed them out. Nelson was the 2022 Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientist Laureate in Chemistry. He was recognized for his work popularizing a technique called microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) that can determine the positions of atoms within small molecules with unprecedented detail—particularly small molecules that are useful for drug development and industrial chemical production.
