Nobel Laureates Paul Boyer, Steven Chu and Louis Ignarro (far right) share a laugh with Mike during the Nobel Laureates Science and Medicine panel at the Milken Institute 2002 Global Conference.

The Science Nobel panel, along with the panel of Economic Nobels, is the Global Conference's signature event. For a summary of the Science Nobel panel,
