What The Generation T Honourees Took Home From The Breakthrough Prize 2019

There was glitz. There was glamour. And there were some of the world's top scientists, entrepreneurs and entertainers all under one roof when this year’s Breakthrough Prize awards were given out at a star-studded event in California. The seventh annual “Oscars of science” was an inspirational evening—and Generation T took a delegation of honourees from across Asia on a three-day trip to be a part it. The awards ceremony was the centrepiece of the excursion, but the honourees also enjoyed a packed programme while they were in Silicon Valley, including brunch with Breakthrough founders Yuri and Julia Milner, as well as tours of the headquarters of Facebook, Youtube and Impossible Foods. They also attended a panel discussion that featured a talk from Breakthrough Prize laureate Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who discovered pulsars. Tamara Lamunière, Head of Generation T Asia, said: “We came face-to-face with, and learned from, some of the most important figures of our time. We celebrated intellectual achievement and the power of curiosity. We pushed the boundaries of our imaginations.” Here's what the nine Gen.T honourees took from the experience.
