Resumen de One minute with... Harry Kroto
Lawton interviews Harry Kroto, professor of chemistry at Florida State University, regarding ways to rescue the Royal Institution (Ri) from having to sell its historic London home. Kroto tells it is of tremendous historical importance to save the Ri. It's an iconic building not just for the UK but for the world, a focal point for the public understanding of science and a laboratory where people like Lawrence Bragg and Michael Faraday did cutting-edge research. It should be a world heritage site. Furthermore, the problem has arisen partly because the Ri got into significant debt. But it has had two gears to find a strategy to convince credible sponsors and it hasn't done it.
