Sermons on the wonders of science

Wonders of Science: Under this heading, renowned Munich scientists reflect on their fields of expertise during the summer semester. They do so in the context of pulpit speeches at Protestant university services, asking: How do wonder, amazement, admiration, and astonishment influence science? How do they enable people to surpass themselves? What horizons of discovery and interpretation do they open up? The fields of expertise involved are as diverse as astrophysics, biophysics, archaeogenetics, medicine, psychology, philosophy, and theology. You are cordially invited!
