Professor Hell received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2014 "for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy," and the Kavli Prize in nanoscience that same year for his "transformative contributions to the field of nano-optics that have broken long-held beliefs about the limitations of the resolution limits of optical microscopy and imaging.”
The discussion will be moderated by Emmy Award-winning journalist Frank Sesno, the Director of Strategic Initiatives at George Washington University's School of Media and Public Affairs.
