At the end of April, the annual Girls’Day took place at the Technical University of Darmstadt with ten students aged 13 to 17 from all over the Rhine-Main area. They took a tour of the S-DALINAC with Michaela Arnold and got to see the electron accelerator from up close. After, Radostina Zidarova explained nuclear physics in more detail while the participants happily arranged “neutrons, protons, and electrons” made from candy to grasp the meaning of isotopes and other concepts. Almudena Arcones later joined the group to discuss her career in physics and what the everyday work life as a scientist looks like.
