Rarely has the content of an academic event been so disproportionate to the public interest as on Thursday at the Humboldt University in Berlin. The biology doctoral student Marie-Luise Vollbrecht gave her lecture in the Fritz-Reuter-Saal, which was canceled 14 days ago at the “Long Night of Science”, “Gender is not (gender) gender: sex, gender, and why there are two genders in biology are”. A police bus with several officers was parked in front of the building on Hegelplatz; TV journalists conducted interviews in the foyer; and on the way to the third floor, visitors had to pass through two checkpoints where names were checked against the sign-up list.
