Gerhard Herzberg – A Life in Science

Dr. Gerhardt Herzberg was an eminent German-Canadian physicist who found refuge at the University of Saskatchewan when Nazis forced him to leave his position at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. He performed trailblazing research during his time in Saskatoon that laid the groundwork for his award of the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1971. His scientific accomplishments informed applications of his work in every field of modern science and technology, from astronomy to medical diagnostics. We will discuss both his scientific and personal journeys that took him from Germany to Canada and the United States, and finally back to Canada.

This presentation is part of SGC's "Culture & History of German-Canadians in the Prairie" series.
