Successful Girls' Day 2021

Girls' Day is a once a year action day that aims to motivate girls and women to take up technical and scientific professions.

Since 2014 we participate in this event. This year due to Corona restrictions we held our Girls' Day in a digital way.

12 girls isolated DNA from a banana, visited one on our labs with a live tour online and checked the growth of bacteria from different places in their homes.

The lab of Katrin Paeschke supported the Girls' Day and helped giving insights to the young girls.

Doors Open with the Mouse: Young Scientists Explore Light and Optogenetics in the Laboratory

—The curious orange mouse is part of German television history. For generations, the children's programme “Die Sendung mit der Maus” (“The Show with the Mouse”) has explained everyday phenomena and scientific questions to young viewers. Since 2011, the Mouse has also been opening doors to places that are normally not accessible to the public. During the annual “Türen auf mit der Maus” (“Doors Open with the Mouse”) event, institutions, companies and research laboratories across Germany invite children to visit their facilities, learn about their work and explore scientific phenomena first-hand.
