Karl August Möbius Fellowship 2017 – Angela E. Douglas (Cornell University)
In 2017 Angela E. Douglas (Cornell University) was awarded with the Karl August Möbius Fellowship.
Art of Metaorganisms
Douglas, who is regarded as one of the pioneers in this still-young scientific field, opened on this occasion – together with the CRC – the exhibition “Art of Metaorganisms” at the Centre for Molecular Biosciences (ZMB) at Kiel University. Using impressive pictures, the show conveys the inter-relationships between animals, plants and bacteria, and thus makes the abstract topic of metaorganism research also accessible to non-experts. From today onwards, visitors can see the exhibition from Mondays to Thursdays from 7:30am to 4pm and on Fridays from 8am to 2pm in the foyer of the ZMB.
