Particle Physicist, CERN, Geneva

"I spent a few (regrettably, too few  ) hours at CeMM, the Centre for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, on a rainy day in November 2013. I was literally dazzled by the highly creative and stimulating atmosphere, the huge number of outstanding, enthusiastic young people, the ingenious vision of the Director and senior scientists, the state-of-the-art instrumentation and infrastructure. A wonderful place, a dream place, to do research. I wish there were more in the world."
