Important Information
We had the great chance to interview Prof. zur Hausen about his opinion about science communication via mail. You find the questions we send him in the box below. But as Prof. zur Hausen is very occupied (as you can imagine) at the moment, he will not be able to answer until the wiki-freezing date on wednesday, october 29th. Thus we set an external Link, were we will post the result of the interview hopefully in a few days after the wiki-freezing.
The interview will be available under the following Link: [http://213.133.109.83/igem/fileadmin/Human_Practice/interview_zur_Hausen.pdf Interview with Nobel Prize Winner Prof. zur Hausen]
