In April 2018, the Nobel Prize Inspiration Initiative St. Paul took Laureates to the University of Minnesota, the Science Museum of Minnesota and 3M’s Global Headquarters. Mario Molina, 1995 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, took part in two days of diverse events, including lectures, an on-stage interview and intimate discussions with college students. He was joined by Elizabeth Blackburn, 2009 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, and David Gross, 2004 Nobel Laureate in Physics, for a panel discussion about the grand challenges. The Nobel Prize Inspiration Initiative (NPII) is a global programme designed to help Nobel Laureates share their inspirational stories and insights. By taking Nobel Laureates on visits to universities and research centres around the world, and by capturing their thoughts on video, the Initiative seeks to bring the Laureates into closer contact with the worldwide scientific community, and especially with an audience of young scientists. NPII St. Paul was delivered in partnership with 3M.
