Nobel Laureate inspires young scientist

Prof. Bert Sakmann, Nobel Laureate for Medicine 1991 will participate in a live teleconference/Skype during the a 3-day event to replicate the Lindau Meeting for young scientists at the Sirindhorn Science Home, Thailand Science Park in Pathumthani province.

The organizer expects over 100 young scientists (undergraduate-early postdoctoral – same age group as the Lindau participants in Germany) will participate in this teleconference and the 3 days event. Prof Sakmann is one of a very few and possibly the only Nobel Laureates who attended the Lindau meeting when he was a young student (similar to this event) and later became a Nobel Laureate in 1991. Therefore, the teleconference discussion will certainly be a memorable experience for all the participants, young and old.

The National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) will organize the Learning from the Lindau Nobel Laureates Meeting “Great Inspirations from Great Scientists” on October 13-15, 2011 to promote the significance of the Noble Laureate Meeting in Lindau and inspire young scientists in Thailand to pursuit their career goals, following the footsteps of the Noble Laureates. The event will include seminars, experience sharing session, and interaction between young scientists and distinguished Thai scientists.
