"I can't imagine what I can say about Dr. Kandel," says Nils Bruzelius , The Washington Post's deputy national editor for science, "that was not described by the movie." With this, Bruzelius, who served as moderator on the evening of January 27th, kicked off the Q&A session. The screening at the Carnegie Institution in the US capital was the first in a series of film screenings, during which Austrian-born neuroscientist and Nobel Prize-winner Eric Kandel, joined by German filmmaker and producer Petra Seeger, toured the United States with the 95-minute documentary film about Kandel's life.

More than 2100 people, including representatives from the fields of science, politics, and culture, from students to Nobel Laureates, attended the series of screenings from January 27 through February 29, 2009, organized by the Office of Science & Technology (OST) at the Embassy of Austria in cooperation with FilmForm Köln , and hosted by partner institutions in Washington, DC, New York, NY, Boston, MA, Los Angeles and San Francisco, CA. Among the hosts were renowned institutions like the Carnegie Institution for Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (for a complete list of all partnering institutions, please click here ).
