Hosting Nobel Laureate Joachim Frank

What a great day and honor for the Faculty of Biology to award the honorary doctorate to Prof. Joachim Frank from Columbia University. He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2017 for his groundbreaking work on image processing in cryoEM.

Thomas had the pleasure to lead the discussion with early career scientist from our University, where Prof. Frank provided all kinds of insights into his career, his opinions on publications and funding systems, etc. Many thanks to him and all participants.
