“Don’t be a one-sided nerd”

From LiveMint

Even as the students mobbed the Nobel laureates at the Lindau meetings (details in previous post) — for instance Robert H Grubbs flanked by some Indian students in the picture below — Richard Ernst from Zurich, winner of 1991 Nobel in chemistry, was busy telling young researchers to have activities and passion beyond science.

“Never forget your passion.

Don’t become a one-sided nerd.” Ernst told the audience, obviously amidst loud cheer and applause.
