C&EN Uncovered: The race to report on the Nobel Prizes

The Nobel Prize announcements are big events at Chemical & Engineering News. But we find out the winners at the same time as everyone else.

Then, the race is on for our reporters.

This year, staffers Laurel Oldach and Mitch Jacoby took on the task of covering the science prizes. In this episode, they reflect on this year’s winning research in chemistry and medicine and share what it’s like covering the most prestigious prizes in science.

C&EN Uncovered, a project from C&EN’s podcast, Stereo Chemistry, offers a deeper look at subjects from recent stories. Check out our reporting on the 2023 Nobel Prizes at cen.acs.org/magazine/101/1013....
