Science Communication at EMBL

On May 3, 2024, we visited the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, a leading research institution for molecular biology. Tabea Rauscher, the Creative Team Lead at EMBL, guided us through the exhibition and explained her work in the field of science communication design on-site. She leads the EMBL design team, which is responsible for maintaining a cohesive visual language for the institution and providing design support for the scientists' publications. Additionally, other designers and scientists shared their experiences with design and science communication through several flash talks. Overall, the excursion provided an excellent opportunity to familiarize ourselves with design in a scientific context.
