Wahl-O-Mat Research @Science night
This year, the Wahl-O-Mat research team from the University of Düsseldorf was once again part of the Night of Science. Henrik Domansky - leading research assistant of the research team - says: "It was a pleasure for us to participate in this great event for the third time after 2015 and 2019. Especially after the last few years, in which personal contact between the scientists and the public unfortunately had to take a backseat, this was a valuable opportunity for exchange."
The team was on site with various Wahl-O-Mat versions that visitors could play.
