(Image: UZH) The University of Zurich celebrates its 189th anniversary virtually on Saturday, awarding honorary doctorates to ecumenist Dorothea Sattler, Polish human rights commissioner Hanna Machińska and gender medicine pioneer Vera Regitz-Zagrosek. Veterinarian Debbie Jaarsma, theoretical physicist Ruth Durrer, educational economist Eric Bettinger and forensic phonetician Peter French also received honorary degrees. The University of Zurich celebrates its 189th anniversary digitally for the third year in a row, honoring outstanding scientists and researchers and their latest projects through a series of videos made available online. "The film format has its advantages," explains President Michael Schaepman. "Everybody can take part, from anywhere in the world. This aligns very well with UZH's identity as a social place with an international standing." The film for the Dies academicus 2022 will be available from Friday, 29 April at 3 p.m. on this link.
