Nature Video presents short films from the annual Meeting of Nobel Laureates at Lindau, Germany. The films capture informal conversations between young scientists and Nobel Laureates as they discuss the future of their subjects and the nature of scientific discovery. The 2008 Meeting was dedicated to physics and in 2009 the focus was on chemistry and climate change. In 2010, Lindau hosted a special cross-disciplinary get-together to celebrate the 60th anniversary of this unique meeting of minds. The 2009, 2010 and 2011 films were made with the support of Mars, Incorporated.
