In this video you get to meet Viola Lobert and Riccarda (Ricci) Schimanski, and hear about the concept behind the virtual lab tours which include visiting four model organism facilities (Drosophila melanogaster, Arabidopsis thaliana, Zebrafish and C. elegans). You will also get to hear a student’s perspective (Ricci) on why to study developmental biology, and a lecturer’s motivation (Viola) on why to do lab work, and see some examples of beautiful biology.
