#LINOSD Daily Recap – Tuesday, 30 June 2020

Day three of the Online Science Days 2020: A huge variety of topics was discussed, ranging from climate change to batteries as well as to the future of chemistry. This recap provides a short insight into today’s highlights.

Quote of the Day

„All major research efforts these days are interdisciplinary. You can’t put things into a physics pocket or a chemistry pocket and in fact these days you also need the economists and the politician involved (…). We have to work around the world without any international boundaries and clearly, politics is right now getting in the way of that.“

M. Stanley Whittingham

Picture of the Day

The picture of the day shows, in the words of Nobel Laureate Frances H. Arnold, „the marvellous algorithms of evolution, of mutation and natural selection, which over millions of years gave rise to such a tremendous diversity of the catalysts of life“.Picture: Image from Frances H. Arnold’s talk today.

In the context of this talk, Denhy Hernandez-Melo stated: „Thank you Dr. Frances H. Arnold for your inspiring lecture!! You are an excellent model for women in science :).“

Comment of the Day

„Good morning, good afternoon and good evening to the Lindau Community.“

Sabrina Curtis, referring to the fact that the Lindau Community is spread among different timezones.

Frances just brought up Jorge Luis Borges, one of my favorite Spanish writers. How can she be so cool: explaining her science using literature? Life goals.#proteins #chemistry #evolution #Lindau #LiNoSD #interdisciplinary @lindaunobel https://t.co/Rzka9eec6W

Talking of time in the SI, Bill Phillips rather poetically says "It's almost time to redefine what we mean by time" #LINOSD

Today @lindaunobel we found,

i) Prof.@francesarnold was not satisfied with the pace of evolution, so she took matters in her own hands!

ii) Prof. William Phillips @NIST could make us all lose weight if he doesn't wear a glove!

Outlook on Tomorrow’s Programme

On the last day of the Online Science Days, a manifold of aspects concerning careers in science as well as scientific practice will be discussed. Later on, the talks by Peace Noble Laureate Kailash Satyarthi and Literature Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka will contribute another perspective. Furthermore, the young generation of researchers has again the possibility to present their work in our Next Gen Science Session as well as in the presentations of the Sciathon results – this time on the Lindau Guidelines.
