Jugend forscht
16/9/22 David Sauer wins first place in this year's “Jugend forscht” competition in the field of biology. The 18-year-old student has already been working on the mechanism of action of dihydroxybenzenes in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana for four years. It all began in 2017 with a simple household remedy against weeds: as a 14-year-old, David Sauer investigated the herbicidal effect of nettle liquid manure as part of the “Schüler experimentieren” competition.
