- catalog abstract "Reading of Oxygen, a play by Carl Djerassi and Roald Hoffmann, that examines the nature of what motivates a scientist. In the play, the Nobel Committee is seeking to award the first retro-Nobel, attempting to choose from among three scientists who each claimed to have discovered oxygen. The action switches to 1777, where a fictional meeting among the three scientists in presented. The scientists, English minister Joseph Priestley, Antoine Laurent Lavoisier of France and Swedish apothecary Carl Wilhelm Scheele, all lay claim to the discovery of oxygen. Largely through the words of the men's wives, truths are revealed. After the reading are two video clips of other productions of the play and one audio clip of a rap version. Professors G. Holton and W. Lipscomb lead a discussion on the play with questions directed to the authors.".
