Wilma Svedlund: Lise Meitner Days 2022

This weekend, this year's edition of the Lise Meitner Days was held at AlbaNova. It's an event for swedish upper secondary school students interested in physics. Lise Meitner (1878-1968) was an Austrian-Swedish nuclear physicist who discovered nuclear fission, and has one element named after her: meitnerium. The students came to AlbaNova to listen to exciting lectures, participate in educative labs and more! Last Friday, an exhibition was held and I got the chance to stand in Fysikum's booth.

I was looking forward to it for a while now as the launch date was postponed multiple times because of technical issues and some hurricanes. But as often in science it is worth waiting as the mission is now going well. Are you also excited that humanity wants to return to the moon and with the first Artemis mission came closer to this goal?
