MindTheLab \u2013 Science in the Metro (<a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mindthelab.org\">http:\/\/www.mindthelab.org<\/a>) is a new communication \u00a0approach that aims to connect scientists with the general public. After the first event in Athens, MindTheLab came to Berlin on the 8th of November and we (Norbert and Seb) participated in the event by setting up a booth at the U-Bahn station M\u00f6ckernbr\u00fccke. Starting in the early afternoon, we talked to all interested people about climate research. We had many interesting encounters and highly engaging discussions. Although at times we felt like Jehovah\u2019s witnesses trying to distribute leaflets, it was exciting to be able to discuss with people about climate change, climate impacts on society, and lack of political will to respond urgently to climate change. We received nearly 100% positive feedback, with many expressing their gratitude to climate scientists in general, and also for our active engagement at M\u00f6ckernbr\u00fccke in particular. The only thing we missed were a few politicians to discuss with \u2013 but then again, who would expect them to travel with the Underground\u2026?!<\/p>\n<p>We will certainly continue to engage the public \u2013 next time in 2019 at the Long Night of Science in Potsdam!
