PRESENTATION ON EAST GERMANY AND BERLIN WALL: Hello Global Citizens…. Happy New Year! Hope you all had wonderful Holidays. We are starting this semester’s presentation with a talk about East Germany, “Life in East Germany and the Fall of the Berlin Wall” on Tuesday, January 24, FISHER 138; from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. Pizza and drinks will be provided. Please bring your own cup/mug to minimuze waste. Join Global City members Mariah, Erika, Ben, Jess and Taile to hear Dr. Werner’s story:
Dr. Thomas Werner grew up in East Germany and will share his story about living a political double life in a socialistic country. You will learn about what it was like for him to have a personal spy who tried to send his parents to prison, and how his home country dropped out of existence over night. After the wall fell, Thomas studied Biology in Jena, Germany and then moved to Umeå, Sweden where he did his Ph.D. in cell and molecular biology. Then he moved to Madison, Wisconsin as a postdoctoral fellow studying the evolution and development of color patterns in fruit flies. Thomas is now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Michigan Tech. He lives in Houghton with his wife Megan, baby daughter Natalia, and soft coated wheaten terrier, Frosty.
