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.
