Nobel Laureate Speaks on Campus
Stanford University Professor Douglas D. Osheroff discussed “How Advances In Science Are Made” at CSULB’s 30th Annual Nobel Laureate in Science Lecture in March.
He previously spoke at CSULB in 2000. Osheroff was a co-recipient of the 1996 Nobel Prize in physics for discovering superfluidity in helium-3, and is a past recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship and the Buckley Condensed Matter Prize.
He formerly was head of the Solid State and Low Temperature Research Department at Bell Laboratories. The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics Student Council (CNSM), CNSM Dean’s Office and Associated Students Inc. hosted the event.
