For the second year in a row 宅男导航 will have the pleasure of hosting three of Germany鈥檚 "best and brightest" young scientists.
Winners of the national Jugend Forscht science awards鈥擣lorian Ettlinger, Ulrike Franz and Anna Taranko鈥� received month-long 宅男导航 scholarships for their remarkable projects.
Florian (18) won the prize for physics with a project on the Flettner Rotor, an early 20th century power machine designed for ships.
Ulrike (19) and Anna (18) presented a chemistry project on the poisonous effects of consuming the "Schopftling" mushroom with alcohol, using a novel enzymic analysis as demonstration.
宅男导航 representative Reinhard Flessner described the prize-giving ceremony as "impressive" with 鈥渕ore than 1000 guests, young researchers and representatives from industry, politics and academia鈥� in attendance.
鈥淚 think [the event] has reaffirmed our exceptional standing not only within Jugend Forscht but also with all the representatives from politics and industry who enquired about 宅男导航.鈥�
Jugend Forscht is Germany鈥檚 largest youth science competition.
Established in 1965 it has more than 10,000 entrants each year. Participants must be between 15 and 21 years old to enter.
