Stick to Science has engaged with Nobel Prize Laureates and young scientists at their meeting, taking place in Lindau from 26 June until 1st July 2022.
On 29 June a dedicated Science Breakfast discussed how scientific collaboration can be envisaged in challenging times like the one we are currently living.
Randy W. Schekman, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry from UC Berkeley, Martin Vetterli, president of EPFL and Adam Smith, Nobel Prize Outreach, Sweden, discussed the most pressing challenges with the audience.
Martin Vetterli warned that “burned bridges are extremely difficult to rebuild”, while Randy Schekman highlighted that “the lack of science trained people in political decision making”.
Adam Smith challenged the young scientists, asking them “how important is it for them to become decision-makers?”
Three LIVE interviews with ETH Zurich students shared their thoughts on the challenges of association to Horizon Europe. Check the interviews from Brian Malow, science comedian, with Freideriki Michailidou (Collegium Helveticum and Laboratory of Toxicology), Jelena Wohlwend (Laboratory of Nanometallurgy, Departement of Materials) and Sven Roediger & Philip Boehm (Laboratory of Organic Chemistry, Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences).
