Sir Harold Kroto, your lecture in Lindau was well received. Why do you accept to lecture?
Welcome to the interactive home…
…of the Lindau Meeting of Nobel Laureates. The last meeting was dedicated to Physiology or Medicine and took place from June 26 till July 1, 2011. Our team from the Lindau office, Nature and Spektrum together with bloggers, the film crew, as well as attendees reported and report from this extraordinary science meeting. 25 Nobel Laureates and 570 young researchers from 80 countries discussed and exchanged ideas for one week and there are still more stories to tell. Special stories, interviews and videos will follow.
This Nature Outlook examines the areas of biomedical science that challenge and inspire the pre-eminent investigators who joined the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting on Physiology or Medicine in 2011.

I don’t know, I’ve thought about it. I should say no. I don’t know where it comes from. I feel like I have to do this and I do it to the best of my ability. I don’t think it is enjoyment. I think about this a lot recently, I’m at a point where I want to do some more graphics and arts, but I don’t have enough time. I am a chemist but I give general lecture s that I think that young scientists should know about. I make an effort to ensure that people who are not scientific can understand.
