“Thank you” to the organizers of the 2016 Science Ball and Dr. Michael Häupl for hosting the second Ball of Sciences in the City Hall of Vienna. It was again a wonderful event, which we hope will continue in 2017 and beyond. In Vienna, over 400 balls are staged each winter, and the Austrian ball culture has a long tradition. For CeMM, and our special guest, world-famous structural biologist Dr. Nieng Yan from the Tsinghua University in Bejing, it was a highlight of the ball season. It values our profession and the importance of science for society. 

We enjoyed very much and promise to come again!
