Collec­tor's Pieces

In our Collec­tor's Pieces video series we present a selec­tion of dis­cus­sions, in­ter­views, and lec­tures by re­now­ned aca­de­mics.

#1 Hannah Arendt

In April 1963, the first episode of the now le­gen­da­ry German te­le­vi­si­on series called “Zur Person” aired for the first time. On October 28, 1964, Günter Gaus in­ter­view­ed Hannah Arendt. Looking back, he would say about this en­coun­ter that it was the best in­ter­view he had ever con­duc­ted.

Benjamin List

#2 Benjamin List

Ben­ja­min List re­cei­ved the Nobel Prize in Che­mi­stry in 2021. The en­thu­si­asm for his spe­cia­list field - ca­ta­ly­sis re­se­arch - is not only pal­p­a­ble in the lecture hall at TU Dort­mund Uni­ver­si­ty.

Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard

#3 Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard

The de­ve­lop­men­tal bio­lo­gist and Nobel Prize winner is both a pioneer and a role model. In her lecture, she reviews the stages of her own re­se­arch ac­tivi­ties, which reflect the almost uni­ver­sal themes of modern ge­ne­tics.

Werner Heisenberg

#4 Werner Heisenberg

“The Meaning of Beauty in Exact Natural Science” is the title of a lecture de­li­ve­r­ed by the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1970 on the con­nec­tion between sci­en­ti­fic thought and in­tui­ti­ve ae­s­the­tic ex­pe­ri­ence.

We re­gu­lar­ly expand this collec­tion. You can find out about new con­tri­bu­ti­ons via our news­let­ter or Lin­kedIn channel. If you have any sug­ges­ti­ons for our series, please drop us a line at info@w-s-w.org.
