Juuhuuu, my poster was awarded at the nanotech conference in montreux. in fact i am very happy that a scientific conference acknowledges also experiments that are being performed in the classroom. the poster described an ongoing teaching project i give at FHNW in a practical course in micro- and nanosystems for lifesciences.
