Day 2 at #WS30 already started! 🚀

We started the morning with exciting insights from Paul Wiseman. Right now, @joergenderlein.bsky.social is sharing his personal story with single molecule science – a personal highlight for many.

Coming up at 11:25: Nobel laureate W. E. Moerner takes the stage! ✨
