Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the universe! Enjoy engaging lectures in which astronomers from the TLS present the latest research findings and offer insights into the big questions of modern astronomy.
In their natural environment, all insects—including pests that attack our crops—have natural predators. We take advantage of this for biological pest control in our greenhouse and largely avoid using insecticides.
Humans and animals have tiny roommates: microbes. Compare the microbes that live on different people with those found on and inside insects. Among them, you’ll also discover true symbionts that are the focus of our research.
Immerse yourself in a world of diversity that is barely visible—or not visible at all—to the naked eye! Dyes make symbiotic organisms visible under the microscope, and under a stereomicroscope, you’ll see insects—from large to tiny—in a whole new light.
Many living organisms use scents to communicate with one another. Although the human nose cannot detect many of these substances, we are still able to track them down and analyze them—with the help of state-of-the-art technology.
