(Schulbezug: naturwissenschaftlich vs. sprachlich-(musisch)-künstlerisch;
Bezug auf aktuelle Debatte über Genetik, Klimawandel und Naturwissenschaften, i.e. climate change and life sciences;
hitorisch: fictional scientists as stereotypes/caricatures;
Romane in Kontxt der öffentlichen Debatte, die sich mit diesen Themen beschäftigen und in denen die Wissenschaftler als 'round characters' rather than stereotypes vorgestellt werden
besonders: 3-stündiges Format dient zur Einbeziehung innovativer Lehrformen (welche? e.g. verzahnte Gruppenarbeit); Doppelkompetenzen, z.B. Englisch & Biologie; wie betriff uns die Konkurrenz der Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften?
