Bettina Halwachs-Wenzl (Pharmaceutical Chemistry) and Sabine Kienesberger-Feist (Molecular Biosciences) and represented the University of Graz at the Mint Festival of the Science Garden, which took place from September 19 to 21, 2024, very worthily and with great pleasure.
With the theme of biology meets computer science, children of secondary school age in particular were well catered for. However, numerous primary school children also visited the 3-day festival and their basic curiosity for the subject matter was aroused with explanations of special cuddly animals.
Parents were particularly well informed and entertained with the topics of infections, antibiotic resistance and the microbiome.
Science was presented in a particularly attractive and exciting way at different levels and made accessible to everyone with the help of a small hands-on laboratory.
