Sarika Goel grew up in India in a small city called Meerut in the state of Uttar Pradesh. As a curious child she grew to love science and chose to study engineering. After completing undergraduate studies in chemical engineering in the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, she joined to the University of California at […]
Prestigious achievements like the Nobel Prize create powerful networks. Within these networks, scientists share ideas, researchers collaborate with resources and writers cover stories. How can we monitor and measure the impact of the Lindau meetings? This is a question also for gatherings like the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, businesses like Google and institutions […]
Aaron Ciechanover’s office is full of odd objects. A picture of Nobel Peace Prize winner Ellie Wiesel stands next to an advertisement for a sushi place in Tokyo. There are models of a VW Beetle, a double-decker London bus and even a Vespa. The music playing in the background is soothing and his voice, when he […]
After learning about the Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau through an online science video collection, Edson Filho will now be behind the camera making films himself as a video blogger at this year’s meeting. His path to this point — like his research in sport and exercise psychology — can be summed up in a […]
In the last post I described how chemistry more than many other sciences is a land of diversity. This diversity becomes especially apparent when we size up the list of Nobel Laureates who will gather at Lindau this year, especially in terms of their work which spans the fields of chemistry, physics, biology and medicine. […]
By Anders Bárány & Wolfgang Huang Mapping the rich history of scientific exchange in Lindau, the mediatheque provides countless connecting points to the major baselines and developments of contemporary science and research. A continuous extensive review and optimisation is in progress. At the time of writing in December 2012, the mediatheque of the Lindau Nobel […]
Sometimes I forget to explain the strong cultural element that is present in Lindau because I am so interested in the science. Here is a selection of some of my favorite pictures that I took this while at the conference. I hope they may convey some amount of the people’s enthusiasm and the entire spirit […]
It’s cool enough to experience the Lindau meeting as one of the young researchers (or as one of the bloggers, as it happens). But there’s nothing that broadens your mind like a change of perspective. At my last Lindau meeting, I was fortunate enough to see Lindau through the eyes of a Nobel laureate. This […]
To be sure: it’s probably not fair to try to deduce something so fundamental – what motivates you to do research? – from a brief text that, presumably, was part of an application form. You do not fill out those forms as a soul-searching exercise, but for a concrete reason: you’re applying for something. In […]
Welcome to the social side of the meeting – here, the international get-together, lavishly illustrated with digital photographs taken on the scene. His excellency, Dr. Tony Tan, President of Singapore, explaining Singapore’s status as a modern, knowledge-oriented, innovative country with entrepreneurial spirit. Singaporean entertainers demonstrating Singapore’s status as a modern, knowledge-oriented, innovative country with entrepreneurial […]
The lunch today was delicious thanks to Singaporean cuisine. This (nearly) proves Tony Tan, the President of Singapor, right. He told us yesterday during the opening ceremony, „the cuisine of Signapor is the best in the world.“ Not only the cuisine. He wants his country to be one of the scientific hot spots of the […]
Heather Gray, originally from South Africa and currently working at CERN, is one of the attendees producing a video diary to document her time at the Lindau meeting this year. I caught up with her over email just before the start of the meeting to find out what a day’s work at CERN is really like – […]
