Last Sunday, we had a blast at Day of Science! Truly amazing to see kids (and parents) having fun with Biology. We made bee hotels, gave some info and got them acquainted with some common social insects DagvandeWetenschap Biology | KU Leuven Fac Wetenschappen FWO Tom Wenseleers now @twenseleers.bsky.social
