Public stand mainly for interested kids representing the “Junior Uni” in the historic civic centre of Wuppertal
On behalf of the Junior Uni in Wuppertal PhD student Stefan Geisen presented the topic soil biodiversity within the theme “Environment” at the 150 year anniversary of the company Bayer that was held in the historic civic centre (“Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal”) on Saturday September 21st 2013.
In addition to a poster presenting EcoFINDERS, soil, soil biodiversity and threats for soils/biodiversity and functions of soil organisms, the public had the possibility of studying soil organisms including bacteria, yeast and hyphal fungi, protists, nematodes and collembolan in microscopes and binoculars. A computer quiz about soil biodiversity was also available.
Children who are the focus of the Junior Uni investigated the different organisms under microscope but people from all age groups were highly interested. The event was a full success with our stand permanently being frequented; several people were not only interested in soil biodiversity, but also in EcoFINDERS itself.
