A look back at the 2022 Chemistry Meetings
'The Lindau meeting is an immersive experience into the world of Nobel prizes and, extrapolating from there, I feel that I understand the backstage of science and academia much better now. My favorite part was lunch with Stefan Hell [Chemistry 2014], where he showed his interest in our research and shared his experience as a PhD and postdoc pre-Nobel.'
