DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to researchers Henri B. 
 Kagan and Kenso Soai for their work in asymmetric organic synthesis.\n\nLi
 fe is built from molecules\, yet living systems exhibit a remarkable prefe
 rence for one molecular handedness over its mirror image. How did this asy
 mmetry emerge\, and how did it become embedded in the chemistry of life? \
 n\nJoin Sankaranarayanan Rajan for a lecture exploring the fascinating int
 erface between chemistry and biology\, tracing the connections between mol
 ecular chirality\, the origins of life\, and the evolution of biological s
 ystems. Drawing on insights from Nobel Prize-winning discoveries in chemis
 try and contemporary research\, he will examine how nature achieves molecu
 lar selectivity and fidelity through mechanisms that distinguish between s
 eemingly similar molecular alternatives. The lecture will offer a glimpse 
 into the fundamental principles that underpin life's molecular organisatio
 n.\n\nThis lecture is organised in collaboration with Infosys Science Foun
 dation.

DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine went to research
 ers Karl Deisseroth\, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel for their work on opt
 ogenetics. Optogenetics is the technique of using genetically expressed li
 ght-sensitive  proteins to control the activity of brain cells. \n\nJoin U
 pinder Singh Bhalla for a lecture tracing the story of how very basic rese
 arch into the light responsiveness of a single-celled plant micro-organism
  led to the discovery of light-sensitive proteins that allow current to fl
 ow into a cell. Learn how this was then developed into a powerful tool for
  studying the brain\, and possibly for therapeutic purposes in the future.
  Come discover the path of development of optogenetics\, both as a triumph
  of basic science\, and also as a way to tell the story of many people who
  contributed fundamentally but were left aside when the prizes rolled in.\

DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature went to Anne Carson. \n\nJoi
 n Srilata Krishnan for a talk about Carson’s work and what writers and a
 rtists can learn from it. Carson’s training was in the classics\, which 
 spurred in her a wide-ranging interest in comparative literature\, anthrop
 ology\, history and the arts. Hers is a quintessentially interdisciplinary
  mind\, and her work feels like jewels studded with the gemstones of ancie
 nt Greek and Latin literature (Sappho\, Catullus\, Stesichorus\, for insta
 nce) and of writers such as Virginia Woolf\, Keats and Gertrude Stein.\n\n
 Formally\, her work may be best described as cross-genre. It is the spirit
  of playfulness and enquiry that drives all of Carson’s work\, making ea
 ch of her books different from the others. Her playfulness precludes neith
 er depth nor rigour\, as borne out by every single work of hers. \n\nAs a 
 writer\, Srilata has learnt a lot about craft from Carson and will be shar
 ing the subtle ways in which reading Carson helped shape her own writing.\
