DALLAS - Nobel prize winner Dr. Russell Hulse and Dr. Elsa Murano, vice chancellor and dean of agriculture and life sciences and director of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station in the Texas A&M University System, were featured speakers at a recent biotechnology conference on food safety. The event was presented at the Texas A&M University System Research and Extension Center in Dallas.

Hulse opened the conference with a talk on "Science: From Nobel to Neighborhoods." He stressed the importance of instilling an excitement about science at an early age.

Hulse spoke on his road to the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1974 he was a 23-year-old graduate student at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, working on his thesis under the direction of Dr. Joseph Taylor Jr. Using a 1,000-foot radio telescope at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, Hulse discovered the first binary pulsar.
