Tiny plants with huge potential Two Heidelberg students proudly received their Labexchange Award at their laboratory. The Labexchange Foundation awarded them the prize for their impressive research work, undertaken on their own initiative, on the use of duckweed as a "phosphate recycler". Many interesting projects were submitted for consideration to the Labexchange Foundation – Wolfgang-Kuster-Stiftung. At the end of the required selection process, the winners were announced: They are students Johann Liebeton and Leon Werner for their duckweed research project. It was clear from the submitted documentation that the research was concerned with a highly topical issue and was therefore extremely interesting. To take a look at the research project for himself, the foundation's founder Dr Wolfgang Kuster visited the winners' laboratory in Heidelberg. Highly impressed by the students' work and results, he presented them with the Labexchange Award. The award is linked to support in the form of provision of laboratory equipment and furnishings. In order to successfully pursue their research work, the students require additional equipment which will be provided by the Labexchange Foundation.
