Our outside stand during the long night of Science drew the attention of many kids and adults. On a perfect and sunny evening we put up few simple microscopes, collected living samples from our institute pond and explained how microscopes work and what species we can identify and study. Special thanks to Jik and his team members from the lab team.
The long night of Science in Dresden takes place since more than 20 years and the MPI-CBG and other institutes attract hundreds of visitors each year. “On the Science Night, Dresden’s universities, non-university research institutions and science-related companies open their buildings, laboratories, lecture halls and archives to the public. Visitors can experience science and technology, research and innovation, art and culture up close in a variety of lectures, experiments, guided tours, exhibitions and films”
