Our scientists Dr. Nicole Meyer and Dr. Florence Fischer were invited to the podcast “Forschungsquartett” where they talked about the environmental chemicals we are exposed to every day, what potential dangers some of them pose and how the public, in particular pregnant women, can better protect themselves against them. As part of the “SAFE Challenge” project, the two scientists are also continuing to collect ideas until 30.11. on how to reach new target groups with the topic.
On 22/23.10.2024 the first CERES network meeting LE-REP project. The two-day event was filled with insightful discussions, bringing together young scientists from across Germany in the field of reproductive health!

Autumn, here we come: Last month we held our annual department retreat where we strengthened the team spirit and productively discussed our department’s purpose and goals. We were guided by great moderators who always helped to create a good atmosphere.
Our dedicated scientists Nicole Meyer and Florence Fischer want to raise awareness about the risks of environmental chemicals and are calling for participation in the "SAFE " Crowd Innovation Challenge ! Creative ideas to reach new target groups and identify effective communication channels can be submitted until November 30 .here .
