Girls Day
For Girls' Day in NRW, our group had the pleasure of hosting five school girls, ranging from classes 7-9.
This excellent program helps introduce young women to STEM and technical career paths often underrepresented by females.
The girls delved into the basics of plant science research, enjoying practical, hands-on experience in extracting and quantifying plant proteins.
