'Hunt for the Oldest DNA' + Debate: How do you end up in a lab coat and behind microscopes and telescopes?

‘Hunt for the Oldest DNA’ + Debate: How do you end up in a lab coat and behind microscopes and telescopes?

After the SCIENCE:CINEMA screening of 'The Hunt for the Oldest DNA', we focus on the path into research, science and tech - and how many detours most people take before they end up there. Meet star researchers Eske Willerslev, Bente Klarlund, Minik Rosing and Susanne Ditlevsen.

Meet Eske Willerslev in a panel with doctor Bente Klarlund, geologist Minik Rosing and professor in Mathematics Susanne Ditlevsen, when we ask: Where does curiosity and a thirst for knowledge come from? And what are the greatest challenges and joys of making a living by asking questions and testing answers?

The debate will be moderated by journalist and author Mikkel Frey Damgaard.

Afterwards, Tangled Bank Studios invites all audience members to a food and drinks reception in the beautiful foyer of Stærekassen.
