Who inspired you into science? Was it a teacher? A parent? A Student? Learn a little more about Nobel Laureate Peter Agre who will be participating in the USA Science and Engineering Festival's Lunch with a Laureate program where small groups of middle and high school students will get to engage in an informal conversation with a Nobel Prize winning Scientist over a brown bag lunch. One of our Laureates this year is Dr. Peter Agre. Dr. Agre was awarded the Nobel prize in 2003 along with Roderick MacKinnon for their work on channels in membranes. Here are two videos to introduce Dr. Agre

Learn about what got Peter Agre into science, what inspired him into science and who inspired him along the way.
