The first issue of the new journal appeared on 20 December and was enclosed with the TAGESSPIEGEL. In perspective, the journal will appear twice a year and accompany the implementation of the Zukunftsplan over the next ten years in order to allow a broad public to participate. The aim of the Zukunftsplan is to intensify communication between science, culture and society. The first issue of the journal aims to present the Museum für Naturkunde with its diverse research, collection and transfer activities.
