Girls' Day 2019
44 girls from different grades used Girls' Day 2019 to take a look at science in our Cluster of Excellence and the Light & Schools school laboratory:.They learned how to program an app, tested programming with the Calliope mini-computer, and conducted experiments on optical signal transmission and interferometry.
No fear of science
Another important item on the program was the meeting with female scientists. Here, the girls were able to ask questions about current research topics and personal career paths. In the lecture "The Wonderful World of the Particle Accelerator" with Dr. Shan Liu, the schoolgirls immersed themselves in the everyday life of a physicist. Dr. Mabel Ruiz Lopez received the girls at the FLASH research facility on the topic "Aberrations in a big lab: FLASH! In the lecture "Question and Answers: Unnatural amino acids and/or protein engineering" they discussed with Dr. Stephanie Kesgin-Schäfer.
