On Friday June 27, hundreds of people from the MPI-CBG flooded the streets of Dresden for our first annual CBG Day!
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. Thanks to the organizers of 2 im Boot, Florian Frisch and Lena Herlitzius for putting together a great event!
We all cheered extra loudly for Germany’s World Cup win over Portugal because Simone’s Frog Oracles predicted the score exactly: 4-0!
It’s no secret that World Cup fever has gripped the MPI-CBG, as all the weekday games are screened in our own auditorium, accompanied by a complicated beer betting system to let people predict the outcome. But our scientists have taken match prediction to a whole new level, creating oracles out of various model organisms.
We had so much fun taking over the @eLife twitter feed yesterday. If you missed it, you can catch back up in one fell swoop because eLife storified the day for us!
We’re live! Tweeting from @elife for the #elifetakeover all day today. Welcome, @elife followers! Have a look around and see what we’re up to here in Dresden. Thanks for stopping by!

With 2 im Boot (which translates to “Two in the Boat”), science comes out of the ivory tower and onto a river steamboat! Join Tony and Prof. Holger Brandes on June 25 for a fun and enlightening evening on the Elbe. 2 im Boot on Facebook & 2 im Boot crowdfunding site
