Nature Video presents five debates from the 2012 Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau

At the 2012 Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau, physics was on the agenda. The popular topic was particle physics because during the meeting, scientists at CERN announced the discovery of the Higgs particle. To recap on all the Lindau coverage you can check out our reports from the conference, including Storifys and photos, here.

Throughout the conference, the Nature Video team were on hand to capture some of these valuable moments. For example they filmed George Smoot and Martinus Veltman as they digested the news from CERN with three young researchers.

The other films deal with the relationship between theory and experiment, the state of science education, the looming energy crisis, so make sure you check them out!

Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting – It’s a wrap! #lnlm12


Lindu wrap

This year’s meeting of Nobel Laureates was dedicated to Physics, as more than 25 Nobel Laureates gathered on the picturesque island of Lindau, ready to respond to the eager questions from early career scientists. Set on Lake Constance and running from 1st -6th July, the meeting provided a rare chance for selected young scientists to meet with Nobel Laureates for a gathering of plenary discussions and informal conversations. The extra bonus for this year’s attendees was that CERN announced the discovery of the Higgs Boson on Wednesday, allowing everyone to see first-hand the reaction of the physics Nobel laureates.
