ESCAPING EXTINCTION

Aha Moment

Video series with Max Planck Society

In the video series "Aha Moment- The Fascination of Research", scientists from various research areas of the Max Planck Society come to the BIOTOPIA Lab and talk about their research. The researchers use simple but unexpected demonstrations to show what particularly fascinates them about their field of research and what unexpected discoveries they have made in the course of their careers. They also provide an exclusive insight into their careers and explain how their field of research can influence our lives.

Online Events

Event series, talks, panel discussions

Missed a lecture, discussion or other event? Or simply want to watch it again and dive deeper into the topic? Here, all recordings from past events are compiled and collected - whether from our annual BIOTOPIA festivals, digital series of talks, discussion rounds, book reviews and much more! With internationally renowned speakers, we address, for example, the question of how we can save our planet and ensure the survival of us humans and other living beings. From climate change to the loss of biodiversity to the origin and handling of future pandemics.

Videos from the SINNE Festival now online!

Missed a presentation or discussion? No problem!

Our big BIOTOPIA Festival "SENSE - The Power of Perception" in October was a great success! Those who could not experience all the highlights from our stage program live, now have the opportunity to watch all the video recordings of the talks, discussions and presentations online.

Fungi for Future

Videos on the exhibition

Fungi for Future

The pop-up exhibition "Fungi for Future" is all about the diverse world of fungi. In addition, the video series also deals with the fascinating organisms and various topics that are touched on in the exhibition: Mushroom experts have their say here, there are insights behind the scenes, additional information about the exhibition objects and great ideas and experiments that you can do with mushrooms. Have fun watching!


Singing Plants

Video: Karel Hacker

In Tune with Nature - can plants sing?

What does it sound like when plants make music? Biofeedback musician Karel Hacker connects sensors with flowers and leaves, transforms their electrical potentials into sounds - and makes them 'sing'. "I am convinced that we can learn quite a lot from nature if we look closely, listen carefully - and learn from it." Experts from the science and technology company Merck, which supported this activity, also share this opinion.

For the BIOTOPIA Festival "SENSE - The Power of Perception!" on 1 and 2 October, he created the song "Primordial Connection - Verbindung mit dem Ursprung" - a connection between nature, humans and technology. The song can be admired in a video production as part of the Festival Display at Schloss Nymphenburg (Foyer EG). Have fun listening!

The Lab@Home

Lab@Home

The BIOTOPIA Lab for your home

With an exciting hands-on program, the BIOTOPIA Lab can also be experienced at home. Test instructions, experiments and do-it-yourself concepts bring "hands-on science" into your own four walls. BIOTOPIA Lab@Home awakens interest in scientific relationships and provides inspiration for young and old. It gives a taste of the activities in the BIOTOPIA Lab - from bottle gardens or growing your own mushrooms to isolating DNA from vegetables or fruit.


Mystery Object

The Mystery Object

Take the online quiz!

With our mystery objects you can go in search of clues. But be careful, because only half of the given clues are true! Take a close look at the object, think carefully and choose the clues you think are correct in our online quiz. The objects always come from one of the Bavarian State Natural Science Collections (SNSB). We are constantly adding new mystery objects.


Dawn Chorus

Citizen Science

DAWN CHORUS

DAWN CHORUS is a Citizen Science and Arts project with the idea of making birds heard. It was initiated by BIOTOPIA and the Stiftung Kunst und Natur in the silence of the Corona Lockdown. People from all over the world are called upon to record the morning bird chorus on their doorstep and share it on this platform - in 2021 for the first time with the help of its own app. The recordings will be mapped worldwide and entered into a scientific database for biodiversity research. In this way, they make an important contribution to species conservation. At the same time, they become part of a global artistic project. Together, the songs form a unique soundscape of biodiversity.
