"Pretzel with the Prof is a unique opportunity for young scientists and students attending ESOf2006 to meet renowned scientists in a casual atmosphere. In the Science Biergarten, during lunch break and around a basket of typical Bavarian pretzels, some of the ESOF2006 plenary lecturers will be happy to answer all questions young people might have about their personal experience in science, job history, science careers, or follow up hot themes of the ESOF2006 lectures and sessions. Pretzel with the Prof will take place daily during the scientific programme of ESOF2006, with different participants."
