That’s A Scientist Should Do—A Dialog with Tomas Lindahl

Dr Tomas Lindahl is a world-renowned scientist specialized in cancer research, in particular, DNA repair [1]. In 2015, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry jointly with Dr Paul L. Modrich and Dr Aziz Sancar ‘‘for mechanistic studies of DNA repair” (https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/ chemistry/2015/press-release/) [2]. During his recent visits in China, besides delivering lectures, Tomas also attended a couple of group meetings with students and PIs. He actively interacted with the audience, not only on topics relating to DNA repair, but also on how to do science and beyond. We presented this special report based on recordings.
