In this workshop, students immerse themselves in the world of laboratory behavioral research and get to know the nematode C. elegans, an important model organism in neurobiology. Using the microscopically small worm, they carry out a simple behavioral experiment themselves and learn why researchers deliberately work “blind”. In hands-on work with micropipettes, petri dishes and microscopes, and with minds-on exercises on principles of behavioral research, they deepen their understanding of science.
We tailor the starting times of the workshops to your needs. You can specify these in a further step of the booking process.
Please note that this special workshop is designed for a group size of 24 students.
