There’s a famous quote attributed to the eminent scientist Richard Feynman: “What I cannot create, I do not understand.”
Those eight words are a driving force for Patrick Shih, an associate professor of Plant and Microbial Biology at UC Berkeley.

Omar Yaghi grew up in Amman, Jordan, where he was responsible for collecting fresh drinking water. "I learned that water is precious," he said.
Those experiences laid the foundation for his work developing MOFs that have revolutionized chemistry, and earned him the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
