A negative result from a medical test means you definitely don’t have the condition, right? Wrong: it depends on the false negative rate of the test and on your individual risk.
Not just melting ice: a simple experiment demonstrates how thermal expansion contributes to rising sea levels as one of the consequences of climate change.
Why is food sold in packaging? Do we really need it? And if so, what materials are best? These questions are more complex than they seem and the answers may surprise you.
Join us to discover the ingredients of the CERN accelerator complex and the experiments and what was improved in the “machine” to push further the scientific discovery potentials. Hear about the exciting time for the discovery machine and the strategies for the future of particle accelerators.
How do scientists try to unravel the mysteries of the universe? What strategies do engineers use to reach the full potential of the world’s largest telescopes? Join us on a virtual trip to the ESO telescopes in Chile and get an insight into life and work in one of the driest places on Earth.
Attend a free workshop series that train teachers on using ELLS classroom-ready resources on the topics of PCR and molecular cloning. Get a chance to try out the learning material, working in small teams to explore the resources from the perspectives of students and educators.
Beamline for Schools is a physics competition open to teams of high-school students (16 years and older) from all over the world! CERN invites the participants to think about an experiment that can be realized at the test beam facility of a particle accelerator.
Apply to virtually visit EMBL (Autumn/Winter 2021) with your school group. The visits (45- 90min) feature educational talks enriched by EMBL’s scientific advances, inspiring insights into life of scientists, informational talks highlighting varied career paths and a peek into EMBL labs.
