The series “Sketches of Science” by science photo­grapher Volker Steger is dedicated not only to the Laureates but also their discoveries: the Laureates were asked to put down their “inventions” on paper with crayons. The exhibition is a cooperative project of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings and the Nobel Museum in Stockholm.

Below, you can download and view the art book with almost all sketches from the series, including the photographer's notes.

Martin Chalfie explains GFP: From jellyfish to test tube to petri dish to the C. elegans worm.
