Science isn't just about knowledge — it's also engaging and entertaining. That’s the spirit behind the CRISPR Whisper Roadshow, a week of events dedicated to the revolutionary CRISPR gene-editing technology. Organised by the DFG SPP 2141 ‘CRISPR-Cas functions beyond defence’ and BioWissKomm, the TRR356 PlantMicrobe is partnering the event together with the German Life Sciences Association (VBIO), the Museum Mensch und Natur (SNSB) and Synthego - CRISPR-Solutions.
The roadshow features:
- Two hands-on lab courses "Selber CRISPRn"
- Special training for teachers "CRISPR macht Schule"
- A theater performance "Micro*Scope" and Science Slam
- Two evening lectures
- A Science Café
- The interactive workshop "Wissen schafft Kunst"
We are pleased that two speakers of the TRR356 are contributing to the programme:
- Prof. Dr Martin Stegmann will present a short lecture on CRISPR applications in plants at the Museum Mensch und Natur on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, starting 7 pm.
- Prof. Dr Martin Parniske will give a talk on "Gene editing in plants: from basic research to application" at the Biocampus Martinsried (Lecture Hall B00.019) on Friday, June 27, 2025, starting 7 pm.

We look forward to welcoming many visitors!
