Ada Yonath on 10 Years National Academy
“The highly prestigious Leopoldina Academy, established 366 years ago and originally known as 'Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina', was declared in 2008 as the national academy of Germany, relates to vital matters of universal perspective. As a universal association it encourages profound exploration in matters of particular significance for global implications of scientific, medical and intellectual concepts.”
