2023 April 23: Visiting schools as a science ambassador is a very enriching experience, for the pupils as well as for the respective scientist. It is surprising each time anew how exhausting it can be to answer the questions of 16 to 18-year-olds thirsting for knowledge, even if it is for “only” two hours. Their questions are clever, often pensive and the pupils – justifiably - won’t let you get away with general explanations. Therefore, we all should show deep respect for all the teachers and their pedagogic work all year long. The pupils are expected to make life-changing decisions soon and it feels great to be able to be of some help, because interacting with them really has some effect on them and caused a diffuse, but perceptible feeling of happiness.
Teachers and scientists alike can register themselves for school visitations here.
