The fall edition of the Novartis Live. Magazine, shared as a supplement of two local newspapers, was dedicated to collaborative science. In an article about the elements of scientific success, FMI director Dirk Schübeler talked about the environment required for researchers to succeed and expressed his concern over the exclusion of researchers in Switzerland from the coveted grants of the European Research Council. The Liberali group was featured in another article, and a photo of one of their custom-built microscopes made it to the magazine‘s cover.
