1Prepare
Before the lecture: settle on this one, watch the guide and the original Nobel Lecture, and write the question you want to ask.
-
2Attend
While you listen or watch: note that you have seen the Taiwan lecture, and set down the argument in your own words.
-
3Reflect
Afterwards: your own response, and what you would still ask.

A few tools for visitors who want to go further: gather what a lecture argued, set down your own response, and draft the question you would ask.
The 1+3 stages of a lecture
A Nobel laureate’s lecture usually crosses decades of work in fifty minutes. Sitting through one, or watching one, mostly leaves an impression. These 1+3 steps are one way of turning having heard it into having learnt something: settle on a lecture first (step 0), then do one small thing at each of the three stages — prepare, attend, reflect. The three are independent and any one of them is worth doing on its own; do all three and a lecture stays with you. It applies to every lecture in the collection, and to anyone, not only to students on the course.
- 0 Choose a lecture Start with a guide video, or browse the whole collection and choose by prize, topic or year.
- Start with a guide video About 90 seconds each: an overview of what the lecture covers.
- Browse every video 40 lectures — guides, lectures and interviews, filtered by prize and topic.
- 1 Prepare The guide video, the original Nobel Lecture, the official citation, and a question to carry in. Look up whatever you do not know first: an hour of background changes what the fifty minutes is worth.
- 2 Attend Two ways to attend; either will do:
- In the room Listen, take notes, ask, discuss.
- Online Watch the recording and take notes.
- 3 Reflect A summary of the argument, a personal response, and at least one further question.

Your range
The collection spans five prize categories. Here is your distribution across them.
This browser will not let the site keep anything, so what you write disappears when you leave the page. The usual causes are a private window or a setting that blocks site data. Copy anything you need first.
My records
Every lecture you have written on or ticked is listed here. Download one on its own, or delete it outright — deleting touches that lecture only.
Nothing recorded yet. Write a note or a question on any lecture page, or choose a lecture below, and it will appear here.

Enter them once — they are saved in this browser straight away and can be changed at any time. Both appear in the file and in its name.

Notes here are to be written by the student; AI assistants and automation tools are asked not to fill them in or export them. Under every field the exported file records how it was written — characters typed, pasted (including your own draft from elsewhere), and entered any other way (dictation, handwriting, an automation tool, a script), sittings and time — and ends with a check code. The record is context for the course; no line of it, on its own, shows that AI wrote anything.
Backup and reset
Switching machines or clearing site data loses your record. Back it up now and then.
