What role can science play in the developing world? In this film, Nobel Peace Prize winner José Ramos-Horta and Israeli Nobel laureate Dan Shechtman discuss the issue with young researchers from South Africa, India and the US. Science and politics collide as the group grapple with funding problems, social responsibility and culture. The laureates emphasize […]
We are facing a global energy crisis, and scientists are charged with finding alternatives to fossil fuels. In this film, Nobel laureates Steven Chu and Hartmut Michel visit a farm with three young researchers to consider our energy future. They ask whether biofuels can power the planet and, if not, what are the alternatives? The […]
At this summer’s Lindau Meeting we focused on pressing world problems and how chemistry can help us to solve them. In four films, laureates and students clash over the future of energy production, grapple with drug development, discuss dwindling supplies of metal catalysts and debate science’s role in the developing world. Get a taste in […]
In today’s Lindau Video blog, Núria Sancho Oltra of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne explores the many aspects of learning at Lindau – what researchers learn from the Laureates, from each other and what learning at Lindau will mean for their ongoing research. More videos by attendees at the 63rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting […]
In today’s Lindau Video Blog, Edson Medeiros Filho of the University of Chieti-Pescara, Italy explores three aspects of the theme “Connect” … learning what “connecting” is all about at Lindau, the best methods to make connections among the researchers and Laureates, and finding out why getting connected is important both in science, and in life.[hr] […]
When 34 Nobel Laureates come together in Lindau with 625 young researchers from almost 80 countries, the spirit of diversity is everywhere. But are there common threads that bind the Laureates and the hundreds of young scientists from all over the world? In today’s Lindau Video Blog, Crystal Valdez of UCLA went looking for some […]
How do scientists deal with difficult challenges in research? How do they find the inspiration not only to keep going? How to inspire the next generation? In today’s Lindau Video Blog, Sarika Goel of UC Berkeley, USA, asked Laureates and young researchers what they think.
Wie Lars, Beatrice und Simon zuvor gebloggt haben,ist die Anreise abgeschlossen, die Eröffnung erfolgreich über die Bühne gebracht, die fachlichen Diskussionen im vollem Gange und die Journalisten in Ihrem Element. Da ist es schön einen Gruß von einem letztjährigen Teilnehmer zu bekommen Pascal Neibecker, Masterstudent an der Technischen Universität München beteiligte sich in besonderem Masse […]
Four young researchers are creating personal video blogs to share their impressions, encounters and experiences at Lindau. In a preview of the week to come, Edson Medeiros Filho, Sarika Goel, Núria Sancho Oltra and Crystal Valdez explain why they think the exchange between cultures and generations is important in science… and what they expect from […]
Working out what happened in the moments after the Big Bang is difficult. Scientists can come up with theories, but in the end they are useful only if they can be tested. Nobel prizewinner Robert Laughlin is passionate about experiments. He challenges the students
The majority of Nobel prizewinners are men, including the two in this film: Harry Kroto and Dudley Herschbach. This gender imbalance worries the young researchers who join them at a German school to debate the state of science education and how science
The morning after CERN announces the discovery of the Higgs particle, three young physicists sit down with Nobel prizewinners George Smoot and Martinus Veltman to digest the news.
