Mayo Clinic Press Conf. Jan 6th, 2023 – French Ambassador, Sen. Amy Klobuchar

It was 100 years ago that Dr. Charles Mayo visited France and met with famed physicist Marie Curie, the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize. That meeting helped to set the stage for her research collaboration with Mayo and the relationship between Mayo and France that continues today.

Celebrating those past, present and future relationships was the reason for a news conference held at Mayo Clinic on Friday, Jan. 6.  Ambassador of France to the United States Philippe Etienne was visiting Mayo Clinic for the first time. He was joined by Andre Terzic, M.D., Ph.D., a Mayo Clinic cardiologist; Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota; and Rochester Mayor Kim Norton.
