Yesilbas Lab took the stage in the ForskarFredag Event in Curiosum Center on September 29!

Salty surprises in space: Exploring Mars and Ceres

“We believe the science education is important and space for all!” said our group leader, Dr. Merve Yesilbas. This year, Merve, and our team members Lucas and Trung participated in this event to show how the varied type of salts effect the surface features (dark streaks, holes, square bright areas) on Mars and Ceres.

It was very exciting to meet with Umeå people from a wide range of age groups and perform experiments together. Thank you all for your huge interest, curiosity and enthusiasm to our research!

We are looking forward to meeting with you all next time! You now know that we are based on the Department of Chemistry in Umeå University.

All the Best from your neighbour Martians,

Yesilbas Lab

ForskarFredag is one of the events organised under European Researchers’ Night 2023 in Sweden program.
