Cook for a Scientist – Jutta Kunz meets Clémentine Ferrari

Once a year, the ‘Cook for a Scientist’ event brings together residents of the Golm district of Potsdam with researchers and employees of the Potsdam Science Park. Over a shared meal, a space is created to meet, exchange ideas about the respective realities of life and overcome cultural barriers. In this way, the format contributes to bringing people from Golm and the park closer together. This year, the Kunz family, who have lived in Golm for more than five years, and Clémentine Ferrari, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, are among the participants.
