Fri | 04/26/2019 | 20:42 Applying Applying The Museum für Naturkunde is aiming to become a thought leader in the field of citizen science. The Museum has been building a strong portfolio in citizen science, participation and public engagement in science. Jointly with Wissenschaft im Dialog, the Museum set up the German online platform for citizen science projects: Bürger schaffen Wissen (citizens create knowledge; https://www.buergerschaffenwissen.de/). The Website connects citizens with research, but Museum staff also act as advisors to project leaders.
Wed | 02/27/2019 | 13:36 Scientist from the MfN on Board: IODP Expedition 379 in the Amundsen Sea (West Antarctic) on the Research Drill Ship JOIDES Resolution It was frustrating - nearly a week and no new sediment cores below the previously drilled depth of 393 meters below the sea floor. One iceberg after another drifted into the security 'red zone' near the ship so that new drilling was not allowed: we had to have time to pull up our drill string if an iceberg decided to head directly for the ship, as is not easy to dodge an iceberg when you are still anchored to the sea floor by a 4-kilometer long drill pipe! At last we could resume drilling and we have now reached 504 meters. And the quality of the cores is remarkably good.

Fri | 04/26/2019 | 20:35 Communicating Communicating The Museum’s state of the art exhibits based on authentic specimens and science draw unparalleled numbers of visitors – in Berlin and worldwide. The Museum’s exhibition development follows a seemingly simple premise: to create exhibits in-house that highlight original specimens of the Museum’s own collection, that put its scientific expertise and its researchers at the centre and that experiment with novel approaches to science communication.
