Nicola Birkner and Gregor Poell teach biology at their schools and like to come back to ’their’ old university.
A series of lectures organised by the Collaborative Research Centre "Dynamic Cellular Interfaces" at Münster University helps teachers to stay on the ball. The venerable old biology lecture hall in Badestraße is almost full one Monday evening in February. There are scripts lying on the tables, cycle bags standing on the stairs, and the rows of seats gradually fill up. At first glance, it looks like students waiting for the last lecture of the day to begin. However, one look at the expectant faces in the audience shows that they don't really seem to fit into the typical audience you might expect. Then neuroscientist Prof. Markus Missler provides the explanation: "Welcome to this lecture for teachers and school students. Today we're going to be looking at research in molecular neurobiology." The more than 100 participants, who look at the slide showing an image of a synapse in the brain, are attending a special lecture series designed by the Collaborative Research Centre 1348 "Dynamic Cellular Interfaces", a research institution at the University of Münster.
