Opening day of the 72nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting: The opening ceremony featured greetings from multiple top-class guests and musical contribution by the Ensemble of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Soon after, the academic programme was kicked off by a Panel Discussion on Diversity and Merits in Science, featuring Nobel Laureates Martin Chalfie, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard as well as the two Young Scientists Rasha Shraim and Marwa Shumo. This was followed by lectures of two first-time Lindau participants: Frances H. Arnold, 2020 Chemistry Nobel Laureate, on „Innovation by Evolution: Bringing New Chemistry to Life“ and Morten Meldal, 2022 Chemistry Nobel Laureate and 1986 Lindau Alumnus, on „Molecular Click Adventures: A Leap from the Shoulders of Giants“.

Quote of the Day

„I wanted to be an engineer in the biological world and I fell in love with enzymes, because they can do chemistry better than human chemists.“

Frances H. Arnold, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 2018
