Uni Basel & Boston: Where Science meets Art
Uni Basel & Boston: Where Science meets Art
On January 19, 2012, swissnex Boston hosted the first University of Basel Alumni evening in Boston, welcoming many former Basler students from the area. Both cities, Basel and Boston, are hot spots for art and life science. With this in mind, the evening centered around connecting the two topics.The speaker of the event was Martin Oeggerli, who holds a doctorate degree in molecular biology from the University of Basel.
Oeggerli cannot be seen as a regular photographer, because his objects are invisible to the naked eye, creating images with the help of a scanning electron microscope. Therefore he opens a whole new perspective on various organisms.
After hearing his great and impressive speech, the audience had the chance to meet other alumni and create new contacts far from Basel. We hope it isn’t the first and last University of Basel Alumni evening and we are looking forward to further Basler networking possibilities.
Thank you for coming and turning this event into a highlight. -University of Basel
