Cells don't care about weekends, they don't care about Christmas, and they never call it a day. This is why 500 scientists from 53 nations at the MPI-CBG are absolutely flexible and in the lab 24/7 – not only during Science Night. But for that night we switch from lab routine to a summer night with spectacular, fascinating experiments.
You can learn more about STED microscopy, how developing organisms form patterns driven by oscillatory reactions, and see things disappear with Hatty Potter's Invisibility Spell! Or look at the abundance of small animals living in our Institute pond. Also, there's a huge Kids Area with fun hands-on stuff to do - like a race of algae, pipetting or building DNA from sweets.
