Long Night of Science at the MPI
It's that time of year again! The MPI will open its doors to the public tomorrow from 6pm to 1am for a long night of science and fun. It's Dresden's biggest science outreach event, with 29 different participating institutions and universities.
#CBGday: adventures in Dresden!
We were randomly sorted into over 30 teams of ~10 people each and sent out on a wild historical scavenger hunt all over the city, encountering a number of interesting characters along the way.
Tony stars in "2 im Boot"
Tony wowed the crowd with his flute last night on the dampfschiff ‘Dresden’ at 2 im Boot. It was a great evening of science, games, and fun.
