#Mendel200 is not over yet!

Soon debuting our #MendelStories, five short stories about Mendel's life, science, and legacy from five experts.

The videos were directed, filmed, and edited by the wonderful Maria Pinto, youtuber & filmographer at #Sea&Me.

Watch this space!

Our final #Deck50 #NHMWien museum workshops are happening these 2 weeks, we'll be attending the #MendelGreenHouse opening Nov 12th, in addition to the other materials, we will also publish 5 #MendelStories videos, made by scicommer Maria Pinto.

Looking forward to engaging with our #ecoevo crew about bringing scientific processes & updated science in contact with the future gen, across disciplines, and to actors in different non-science sectors!
