talk, science presentation, gym session

Motorproteins move organelles and other small structures around in cells. For instance, they move chromosomes during cell division and they move vesicles containing transmitter molecules inside of neurons. Did ever wonder what it feels like to be such a molecular motor? DO SCIENCE! will help.

DO SCIENCE! presents you the very latest findings in cell biology - in entertaining talks by scientists. Then it's your turn: Do yourselves what you have just learnt about biological phenomena. Work as hard as molecular motors! Be a myosin protein pulling containers in a muscle, become a dynein protein moving around the chromosomes.

You will really work hard. And learn a lot!
