“Japanese Science and International Politics during the Interwar Period: The Nobel Candidacies of Hideki Yukawa (Physics) and Katsusaburo Yamagiwa (Physiology)”
James R. Bartholomew (Professor of History, The Ohio State University) will present this Social Sciences Forum lecture, which is free and open to the public.
Japan was a late-comer to modern science, though it produced important contributions earlier than many think, especially in medicine. This talk examines some of the controversial cases involving Japanese scientists and the Nobel Prize in physics and medicine and reflects on what they tell us about Japan, modern science and the Nobel Prizes themselves.
