Moon Walks and Dinosaurs Inspired
There
are many times in life when we need inspiration – for choosing an
education, for selecting a path for our work or just for being able to
continue with what we are doing. Here, Nobel Laureates talk about
important sources for their inspiration.
When Nobel Laureate
Craig Mello was nine years old people were walking on the moon – and he
was amazed. What he learnt about science from school, from the news and
from his palaeontologist father inspired him to become a biologist.

Nobel Laureates share their inspirational stories and insights by
bringing them into closer contact with the worldwide scientific
community, and especially with an audience of young scientists. At its
