Add highlights of what each nobel laureate said about challenges and possible opportunities for solutions?

[edit]

The section for each laureate should center on their strong points made in the on-camera interview touching on humanities' challenges looking forward and our opportunities for possible solutions. This focus can more effectively engage those considering giving the film a watch, and concisely present the message take-away for those feeling they lack the time to view the whole film. The staggeringly impressive bio of each laureate could be pared to the bone, down to what is most essential about the speaker before moving to focus on the heart of what was said on screen in the final cut of the Nobelity film itself, and the biographical aspects that are directly germane to that. For example, as to Weinberg, here's a start:

HEADING: STEPHEN WEINBERG

Because of his groundbreaking work in creating the foundation for modern unified theory, Stephen Weinberg is "considered by many to be the preeminent theoretical physicist alive in the world today".

Outside of theoretical physics, professor Weinberg's has written accessibly and thoughtfully on the essential role of science in society. Interviewed in Nobelity, he states that

"Science can tell you how to achieve certain things if you want to achieve them, but it can’t tell you what you ought to achieve. There is an unbridgeable gulf between questions of what is and questions of what ought to happen."

Turning to the challenges facing the world's population today and possible steps toward solutions, Dr. Weinberg drew attention to .... and noted that ... suggesting that hopefully .... .

In line with his personal and practical commitment to becoming part of making a better future possible, Dr. Weinberg works closely with the Union of Concerned Scientists, an independent non-profit alliance of more than 100,000 concerned citizens and scientists which applies scientific analysis in the support of innovative thinking to identify evidence-based measures which, implemented through committed citizen advocacy, can effectively lead to a cleaner, healthier environment today and a safer world for future generations.
