It's another exciting day of exciting lectures, I hope. I know that this morning was the most anticipated one on my dance card; here's what we're looking forward to.
Osamu Shimomura: Chemistry of Bioluminescence
Martin Chalfie: GFP and After
Roger Y. Tsien: Building and Breeding Molecules to Spy on Cells, Tumors, and Organisms
Richard Royce Schrock: Recent Advances in Olefin Metathesis Catalyzed by Molybdenum and Tungsten Alkylidene Complexes
Werner Arber: Molecular Darwinism
OK, I confess, Schrock's lecture won't be my cup of tea, and I have no idea what his title says, but the rest sound fun, and the last one sounds controversial. I'll be back in a few hours with some short summaries.

Uh-oh. I'm trying to follow this talk, but it's one for the chemistry purists: I don't understand the words he's saying, starting with "olefin" and continuing with "metathesis".
That was it, we're back. After six inspiring days in Lindau, the Nobel Laureates Meeting 2009 has ended.
