Although the Jewish population of the world is only .02%, Jews have garnered 23% of awarded Nobel Prizes in every discipline since their inception in 1905. The Museum staff has crafted a lecture with slides embracing ten Jewish Nobel Laureates in the field of science. Included in the presentation will be Albert Einstein, Melvin Calvin, Richard Feynman, Arno Alan Pienzas, Gerty Cori, Marshall Warren Nirenberg, Rosalyn Sussman Yalow, Selman Waksman, Gerald Edelman, and Gertrude Elion.
