Daily Recap – Wednesday, 28 June 2023
Day four of #LINO23 began with a partner event on “CRISPR-Cas9: From Lab to Therapeutic Tool.” Afterwards, Young Scientists had ample opportunity to present their research in our Next Gen Science sessions. The Nobel Laureates continued with their Agora Talks and then headed off to the Laureate Lunches with Young Scientists. The afternoon consisted of two more Next Gen Science sessions and interesting Open Exchanges with Laureates. In the evening, the Heidelberg Lecture by Shwetak N. Patel, recipient of the 2018 ACM Prize in Computing, concluded the scientific programme. Last but not least, Young Scientists can finish off their day with a dinner while enjoying the Lindau sunset.
Quote of the Day
“The average consumer looks at their phone three hours a day. That’s three hours of data that can have a health impact.”

Rolf M. Zinkernagel addressed the question of immunological memory, the ability of the body to recognise pathogens encountered previously and respond to them efficiently, in his Agora Talk on Monday. Read more about the challenging and pioneering immunological research on our blog.
Fact of the Day
The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings put a high value on sustainability and environmental protection. Therefore, we offered vegetarian and vegan food the whole day. We also prioritise regional products and avoid disposable tableware and unnecessary packaging.

Auch die Pflanzenzucht nutzt CRISPR-Technologien mit Erfolg, berichtete Julia Jansing @MaastrichtU University beim vfa-Partner-Event @lindaunobel: nicht nur für Nahrung, sondern auch f. d. Produktion von Antikörpern – vielleicht für Medikamente der Zukunft. @JuliaJansing #LINO23 pic.twitter.com/S5qOIL9KLn

Great advice for coping with failure in lab from @NobelPrize Laureates Martin Chalfie and Randy Schekman. Keep your eyes on the goal, the big question, the ultimate reason why your working. Same as my mentor @markalawson #lino23 @lindaunobel pic.twitter.com/BAnJMRNTlI
