James R. Bartholomew, Professor of History, Ohio State University "Japanese Science and International Politics in the Interwar Period: The Nobel Candidacies of Hideki Yukawa (Physics) and Katsusaburo Yamagiwa (Physiology)" 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. Sponsored by the Asian Studies Program; Office of the Dean, College of Natural & Mathematical Sciences; the Human Context of Science and Technology Program; and the Department of History Wednesday, October 3 at 4pm Albin O.
