Oldenburg.This (or something like that) was what the ICBM-collegues heard from several young students during Girls‘ and Boys‘ Day at the Wilhelmshaven site of the institute. And the youngsters not only paid lip service but listened and worked with ardent zeal during their four hours stay at ICBM.

The students prepared carrots or swamp stonecrop for pigment measurements and examined tiny crustaceans under the microscope. Some of the students from Hude, Oldenburg, Rastede and Wilhelmshaven had been at ICBM on other occasions where they particularly enjoyed short stays on a research boat or doing research work in a nearby tidal flat. This years programme of ICBM Girls‘ and Boys‘ Day with labwork as well as a guided tour through the planktotron-lab and the aquaria room was equally well received.
