"Biology lessons at school should be exciting"

For two weeks, every spring and autumn, senior school students can be found at the Institute of Neuro- and Behavioural. Collaborative Research Centre 1348 University of Münster Collaborative Research Centre 1348 ' "Dynamic Cellular Interfaces" ' offers work placements for senior school students majoring in Biology For two weeks, every spring and autumn, senior school students can be found at the Institute of Neuroand Behavioural Biology at Badestraße 9. Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1348 - "Dynamic Cellular Interfaces" - at University of Münster offers school students majoring in Biology an opportunity to take a close-up look at university research and conduct their own experiments. In this interview with Kathrin Nolte the spokesperson for the CRC, Prof. Christian Klämbert , explains the background to this opportunity for a transfer of knowledge, which is funded by the German Research Foundation. Why is the CRC offering these placements for school students majoring in Biology? Firstly, we're doing it because we're aware that we need to attract the next generation of students. And secondly, we're also aware that Biology lessons at school can't always keep pace with the developments happening so fast in research. Modern biology - as it is undertaken at universities - is, as a rule, very different from Biology lessons at school.
