We spent the weekend at FORSCHA Munich Science Days with the other Munich clusters of excellence teaching kids all about DNA and RNA! 🧬✨ After learning how codons work, they put their new knowledge to the test by coding their very own DNA wristbands to take home. #NUCLEATECluster #ScienceComm
Mission DNA: Accomplished! 🧬 NUCLEATE researchers from @zarnack-group.bsky.social and @koenig-lab.bsky.social hosted a group of 4th graders for 2 days of science. From extracting DNA to imaging cells via microscope, and touring the labs, we might have just met the next gen of scientists! 🧠
