MELINA NOWAK

Age: 22
Biological interests: Neurobiology, Animal cell biology, Molecular biology
Favourite protein: Kinesin

I love biology, because it fascinates me how the smallest things can have the biggest impact.

SAMUEL NESTOR MECKONI

Age: 23
Biological interests: Plants (because they are photoautotoph), moss (because they can filter the air)

I love biology, because i am fascinated by natures way of creating the balance, that is needed to develop life.

BENJAMIN HARDER

Age: 22
Biological interests: Cell biology, Molecular biology
and Neurobiology and blood cells
Favourite equipment: Lab coat and pipette

I love biology, because to study the complexity of life seemed like the most exciting and fascinating subject i could ever imagine. It's amazing how many
small things have a big impact on our well being.

SINA HUXHAGEN

Favorite organism: Danio rerio
Favourite equipment: Fluorescence microscope

I love biology, because it's so incredible. There is so much that you don't know yet, but at the same time there is so much that you can be fascinated by

FRAUKE DROBEK

Age: 22
Biological interests: Marine biology (animals and plants), Bioinfomatics
Favourite enzyme: T4 DNA Ligase

I love biology, because it provides insight into the diversity of life forms and a scientific understanding
of how all living and non-living organisms interact with each other

DOROTHEE B. RESTLING

Age: 23

Favourite equipment: Cleanbench

FABIENNE SPANG

Age: 22
Biological interests: Infection Biology, Microbiology
Favourite organism: Volvox
How many plants do i own?: 6

I love biology, because I find it fascinating how the smallest things have the biggest impact.

BOAS PUCKER

Age: 33
Biological interests: Specialised metabolites in plants, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Synthetic biology
Favourite organism: croton variegatum

I love Biology, because it fascinates me how complex living organisms are and how they evolved and changed over time. The capability of plants to adjust to extreme temperatures and stress impresses me especially.
