Heidelberg Laureate Forum | Virtual HLF 2020 – Interview with Karen Uhlenbeck @LaureateForum | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Karen Uhlenbeck interviewed by HLF alumnae
Abstract:
Karen Uhlenbeck became the first woman to receive the Abel Prize in 2019, making her a tremendous inspiration not just for mathematicians everywhere but for anyone with a pioneering spirit. For the Virtual HLF, two alumnae had the unique opportunity to interview Uhlenbeck about professional obstacles specifically facing women and how to overcome them. They also discuss Uhlenbeck’s background, how to define success, nurturing motivation and the importance of the scientific environment.
Challenges offer opportunities to adapt and 2020 has provided several significant tests. The Virtual HLF is a direct response to some of this year’s trials. Branded with the motto "Virtual HLF –Traversing Separation," the Forum will take place from Monday, September 21 until Friday, September 25, 2020. A multifaceted scientific program is supplemented by various interactive elements designed to facilitate exchange between the participants. Additionally, there are various satellite events available.
