This year’s chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1965 to parents who were refugees from Palestine. When we spoke to him he shared his story: “I grew up in a very humble home, we were a dozen of us in one room, sharing it with the cattle that we used to raise. I was born in a family of refugees, and my parents could barely read or write. My father finished sixth grade and my mother couldn’t read or write. It’s quite a journey. Science allows you to do it. Science is the greatest equalising force in the world. Smart people, talented people, skilled people exist everywhere. That’s why we really should focus on unleashing their potential through providing them with opportunity.” Today Yaghi shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson for their work developing metal–organic frameworks.

Si tuviesen que volver a Argentina que harían? A veces me imagino vivir 6 meses allá y 6 acá y armar algún negocio pero no se cual.... Tal vez sea una locura...

While a PhD student at Stanford, I had to attend an interview to check whether I could teach in English. This was because my BA was from a foreign university; the University of Oxford.
