Every summer since 1951, an extraordinary meeting between Nobel Laureates and young scientists has taken place on Lindau Island in Germany. At 2010’s cross-disciplinary meeting this summer, Nature Publishing Group's video team followed five young students as they met their Nobel idols. You might think a senior biologist and a young engineer have little in common, but these encounters threw up plenty of ideas across disciplines and generations. This trailer offers a glimpse of the films that follow, including a special film celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Lindau Meetings.

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.

I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.

If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.

In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.

There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.

Thank you,
