Thursday 12.09.19

Again, it was an exciting day. Approximately at 9'o clock we took the bus and drove all the way down to the English Roche-Headquarters in Welwyn Garden. We were friendly welcomed with tea and biscuits and then had an exciting morning with two workshops, one about statistics, one about drug development. After the two workshops we met with a local class of same-aged students. We shared lunch with them, which Roche so generously provided. The meal was delicious.

In the afternoon Roche hosted two guest-speakers who held a lecture about the brain. In detail, they  talked about the specific connections in between neurons in order to generate memory. We again had two workshops, in one we could measure our brain activity with an EEG, in the other we made a model of a developing infant brain.

Afterwards we all went to the Tewin Bury Farm Hotel, where we had a tasteful BBQ Dinner and an exciting evening of garden games where we had a thrilling football match and thought the local school about our national sport, "Schwingen" (swiss-style wrestling). The departure was delayed for two hours, we killed the time with some refreshing drinks. After-all, another exciting day.
