Abstract
A celebration to commemorate 50 years of neutron backscattering spectroscopy was held in Garching September 2–3, 2016. This event was marked with a series of exciting and informative presentations by practitioners of backscattering spectroscopy from around the world. This sketchnote summary presents highlights in visual form from the following topical sessions: Historical Talks on Neutron Backscattering, Innovations in Backscattering, and Major Sciences Fields tackled with Backscattering. This sketchnote is not meant to be a concise summary of the presentations but merely to include impressions, highlights, an important quote, something amusing and/or memorable, or anything that gives a small flavor of the presentation.
