soundsofscience

Microbes, climate and society.

Science that gets under your skin. Understanding science – not just with your head, but also with your heart. That’s the goal of “Sounds of Science.” Microbiologist Prof. Heribert Insam and musicians Patrizia Grawe (vocals) and Sebastian Schweiger (piano) blend facts and emotions into a unique experience.

Gemeinsam machen sie die unsichtbare Welt der Mikroben hörbar und zeigen auf, welche Schlüsselrolle Mikroorganismen im Klimawandel spielen. Entdecken Sie, wie Wissenschaft Begeisterung weckt und zu konkretem Handeln inspiriert.

In the succulent house of the Innsbruck Botanical Garden, we were photographed by the city’s best photographer, Simon Rainer.
