And it is finally here! Just waiting for the opening was too much, I first went to the registration office and load the 7.5 kg Nobel portrait book back to the hotel, since it was going to be too much for the whole day (I need a higher intake of protein, otherwise I will die to bring it back to Zurich and then Barcelona).
People are willing to interact, meet other scientists from around the world, and for me it is already a huge difference with any meeting I have attended previously. I had the chance to salute my previous supervisor back in my Stockholm time and find out how much I miss Stockholm and such a nice city it is.
For the presentation of the act, Nobel Laureates, Countess Bernadotte, the Princess of Thailand, plenty of peoplee, and among them, or most of them, young scientists and/or researchers. Multidisciplinary means that, biologists, engineers, chemists, physicists, medical doctors, undergrad students passionate for sciences... Nobody is excluded.
And after that, Germany-England, dinner, and Argentina-Mexico. What else can someone ask? Beer of course, aren't we in Germany?
Some Highlights:
Concert: Beate Fürbacher (Harp, left), Martin Hiler (Verrophon, left).
Nobel Laureates and previous Lindau attendees.
And for me the most important part came out in a sentence from the speech of Countess Bernadotte, somewhat a quote of what she said:
"Scientists who still have sparkling eyes each time they speak about their field of research".
And another sentence from Christof Bosch:
"For a week the most intelligent town of the world"... That was flattering, but not lesser than we were selected from over 40,000 applicants.
PS: Irene, do not worry, we were given business cards!!!!!!! No problem for networking!!!!!
