When: Friday, October 26, 2001, 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

To mark the 100th anniversary of the Nobel Prize, you are invited to
attend
a rare event - an all day symposium with over a dozen Nobel Laureates in
the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine and other disciplines.
The symposium is organized by the Exploratorium and the Consulates
General of
Sweden in Los Angeles and San Francisco, with the cooperation of
Stanford
University, UC Berkeley, UCSF, Lawrence Livermore Lab, and KQED-TV, and
takes place on Friday, October 26, from 9-6, at the Palace of Fine Arts
Theatre, next to the Exploratorium. The Nobel Prize is the best known
and
most prestigious award in science and California's universities and
research institutions claim more Nobel laureates than any state or
country
in the world. This symposium is one of three in California; the other
two
take place at Caltech and UCLA on October 24.
The Exploratorium symposium will explore the impact of the Nobel Prize
on
the fields of science, literature, economics and peace from the personal
and professional perspectives of the laureates in attendance. Other
sessions will include a discussion of Alfred Nobel, his historic will
and
the rigorous award selection process, featuring Nobel judges. It
includes
preview excerpts from an upcoming documentary on the Nobel centennial
produced by KQED-TV; and a round table of high-school students posing
questions to Nobel laureates.
The day will end with a reception in the Exploratorium and a chance to
meet some Nobel Laureates in person.
