Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022: Chemistry That ‘Clicks’ Into Place
Three researchers whose work has revolutionised synthetic chemistry by allowing unprecedented insights into living cells will receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022.
Lindau Alumna Paola Libertad García Medel explores the DNA replication of plants. Further knowledge about the DNA replication in plants could help to increase food security by improving crops and yields.
Lindau Alumna Ruth Rittinghaus was awarded for an essay about her research topic. Microscopic plastic particles are almost ubiquitous in the environment. This is a problem, but tailor-made bioplastics may offer hope of a solution.
Mariana, participant of #LINO22, is working on new forms of administrating drugs to patients. In the interview she tells us more about her aims, her inspiration and her daily work.
Gözde is a materials chemist working on the design and synthesis of functional materials for energy applications. In advance of #LINO22 she was interviewed for the series "Women in Research".
With her research Nicole Foster develops new approaches to analyse DNA contained within environmental samples such as soil and dust. The scientist from Australia recently participated in #LINO22.
Young Scientist Sara Dumit Earns Back-to-Back Awards for her Interdisciplinary Research
Besides having been selected in 2021 to participate in the 70th and the 71st Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings as a young scientist, Sara Dumit has recently received two consecutive prestigious awards for her interdisciplinary research in Health Physics.
Mentoring, Publishing Results, and Communication in Science – Workshops on the Lindau Guidelines and the Lindau Mentoring Hub
During #LINO22, two workshops were dedicated to initiatives of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings that were launched in 2020: the Lindau Guidelines and the Lindau Mentoring Hub. What progress has been made by these two recent projects and what do young scientists think about the future directions of these initiatives?
The closing discussion with Nobel Laureate Donna Strickland sparked lively conversation about the importance of diversity for science, different types of diversity, and how those in academic positions of power can improve the participation of underrepresented groups.
The ingredients that produce rapid advances in science often include cognitively diverse teams and a high degree of tenacity from the researchers. Some #LINO22 sessions highlighted excellent examples of such breakthroughs.
