March 2023: From Exhaustion to Joy
Public event in Karlsruhe, Germany: Unkrautkonferenz (‚weed conference‘)
We presented the Selfheal in a short sketch. I played the botanist who was looking for orchids and overlooked the Selfheal Plants next to it. My wife played the role of a Selfheal plant and was dressed looking like one. She made me – the professor – realise what wonderful qualities the inconspicuous Selfheal plant has.
