In the new PETRA III extension hall, the EMBL team of around 30 volunteers showcased the Unit\u2019s structural biology research through games, tours and hands-on activities. The ever-popular crystal fishing game for children attracted hordes of budding crystallographers, players had a ball with the newly designed <a href=\"http:\/\/news.embl.de\/lab-matters\/1510-transporter-game\/\">protein transporter game<\/a>, and the queues of visitors wanting to explore protein structures and the beamlines did not wane over the 12 hours. Weary but satisfied, several of the happy helpers give their impressions of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I particularly enjoyed communicating and interacting with the visitors. It is invigorating not only to make complex science understandable, but also discussing various topics, from pure science to philosophy! In the end, the interests and questions of the visitors are as diverse as the people themselves \u2013 this is what makes an event like the Night of Science truly unique.&#8221; <em>Fabio Dall Antonia, Scientific Software Engineer<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was tiring but very fulfilling. It amuses me that the kids always want to fish the most difficult crystal and always ask what they can win \u2013 so competitive! I\u2019m amazed how many people turn up to see and learn about our science.\u201d <em>Annabel Parret, Staff Scientist<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am always delighted by the general public\u2019s genuine interest during the Night of Science. The later it gets and the more exhausted we get, the more detailed the questions seem to become! This open day and DESY\u2019s open campus policy contributes to a high acceptance of this research site in the middle of a large city.&#8221; <em>Stefan Fiedler, Team Leader<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"vf-blockquote\"><p>He looked like he had survived Armageddon: exhausted, but victorious!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love the enthusiasm and happiness of the kids when they see the things we do on the campus for the first time. When they stop to spy protein crystals under the microscope, sometimes it\u2019s hard for the parents to get them moving again \u2013 they want to see more and more! It\u2019s fun explaining to visitors about our work; when someone tells you that they now understand things more, it\u2019s what the Night of Science is all about. It\u2019s also great to explore the campus among the beautiful lights and exhibits, and see so many families having fun \u2013 it\u2019s like a summer festival taking place in November!\u201d <em>Claudia Hackenberg, postdoc<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach time I went to pick up a new group for a beamline tour I was amazed how long the queue was. Giving the tours was great fun \u2013 people were so fascinated and asking loads of questions. At midnight I saw one of the group leaders who had also been giving beamline tours taking a two-minute break. He looked like he had survived Armageddon: exhausted, but victorious!\u201c <em>Sophie Zimmerman, postdoc<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city\u2019s Night of Science and DESY Open Day take place every other year in November. Expect more fun and games in 2017!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Computers-WEB.jpg\" alt=\"Even our young visitors were keen to learn.
