«Beweisstück Unterhose» geht um die Welt
Our Citizen Science Project makes waves internationally
WOW! We are overwhelmed! 🤯
The project by Agroscope and the University of Zurich, for which catta handles fundraising, Citizen Science management, the establishment of the web platform, and public relations, is making high waves in the media. From Spain to Russia, from England to the Arab world, in America, India, and Africa... The underpants are going around the world!
A little anecdote: Last Saturday, when the cashier at Coop heard about the Beweisstück Unterhose Project, she exclaimed: "Oh yes, the underwear project, I saw that on TV!" That's exactly what catta wants: to present science in a way that's exciting for everyone.
