What I learned at lange Nacht der Forschung 2024:

• There are jumping genes! (Great band name, btw.)
• Our memories are totally flawed (they just want to do good, so be kind.)
• The research at the Central European University is very impressive, the students are avid presenters and passionate about their topic
• The chapters Dirk Stermann read from his recent book are… weird? 
• The contrast agency I got for an MRI scan that day was not radioactive (anymore)
• UNO City is even cooler at night
• I can script my own schedule from the very simple Merkzettel in 40 minutes: lange-nacht-der-forschung (application/pdf, 163 KB)
