Julian Bär
21, Bachelor student in Microengineering
- Role
- Hardware nerd, human practicer and vlogger
- Best memory of the summer

- Role

- Immunostaining and Western Blot expert as well as official team building's parties organizer
- Best memory of the summer
- When I brought the team to a swing party and we all ended up dancing together and even initiated a lindy hop jam (a social dance on swing music that appeared in the afro-american community in the 20s).
Lou Kohler Voinov
21, Bachelor student in Life Sciences Engineering
- Role
- Team coordinator, funniest and most humble member of the team
- Best memory of the summer
- When we got caught using the personal autoclave machine of the lab with smelling (like vomit apparently) yeast medium. A strange guy wouldn’t let us leave and kept yelling at us. We couldn’t stop laughing about it for weeks.
