    1. Exactly where they should be. Cooking dinner and doing laundry at home with the kids.

  4. 17 of the 29 were or became Nobel prize winners. Not too shabby.

  5. Back in the early 1990's, I stayed at the hotel where this conference was held - in Brussels - called the Hotel Metropole. Really cool old hotel with two story marble columns and a brass caged elevator. This picture was in the lobby, and the science nerd in me was pretty awestruck for the reason that Benji just mentioned. Damned august group whose scientific contributions are the foundations of much of the modern technology we all enjoy. Then I got brought back to reality by my colleague running up to say his passport had just been stolen by a pack of gypsies who accosted him in a revolving door! Memorable place in more ways than one.
