Poster

Over 20 girls joined our #Girls’Day 2024 event! We started the day with a campus tour and then visit a lab. Lunch was joined by a series of short lectures by our Berlin-Bochum Memory Alliance scientists. Each scientist spoke about their CV and project work in their respective project. We hope we inspired you to make an internship in one of our project labs!

Feedback from one attendee:

Ich bin Luise, 16 Jahre alt und habe am 25.4.2024 den Girlsday an der Charité Berlin besucht. Der ganze Tag war sehr spannend, lehrreich und vor allem inspirierend: Die Führung über das Gelände, bei der wir viel über die ereignisreiche Geschichte der Charité gelernt haben, die Vorträge der RednerInnen, die sehr interessante Perspektiven eröffneten und vor allem die Besichtigung der Labore und die Gespräche mit den Forschenden dort haben mich zutiefst inspiriert und begeistert. 

Da ich selber gerne ein Studium in Biologie/ Chemie absolvieren möchte und mich insbesondere die behandelten Themenfelder an Ihrer Institution, wie zum Beispiel Neuro-und Mikrobiologie, sehr interessieren, wäre es mir eine riesige Freude, neben dem Girlsday einen weiteren Einblick in die Forschung gewinnen zu dürfen.
