When Charles Rice turned 60, he received this egg from his mentor Dennis Barrett, who had painted it. The egg came in a protective glass. Rice met Barrett in 1970. Barrett sparked Rice’s interest in virology and became his mentor and friend. For Rice, the egg symbolises that a chance meeting can lead to new directions in life. He also wants to emphasise the importance of having a supportive mentor.
Charles Rice donated the egg and the glass to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2022. - Pristagare
