250 ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT!

On September 14, 1769, Alexander von Humboldt was born – just 250 years ago.
On the occasion, the Sieweke lab held a dedicated lab retreat at CIML. Humboldt-Professor and CIML group leader Michael Sieweke reflects on the great discoverer and pioneer of Franco-German research cooperation.
