Since winning the Breakthrough of the Year 2023 Award in the Art & Science category, Elaine Chew has been invited to serve on its jury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elaine attends the 2026 Falling Walls Science Summit<\/a><\/strong>, which took place 6-9 November in Berlin \u2014 four exhilarating and science affirming days in the company of over 2000 extraordinary attendees<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The programme ranged from Marc Abrahams’ recap of the Ig Nobels to inspiring presentations on the future of medicine to brilliant Breakthrough talks – falling-walls.com\/breakthroughs<\/a> – to tackling tough questions like who funds the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
