The importance and responsibility of effective science communication became clear during the ongoing global Corona pandemic: In order to provide as many people as possible with access to and an understanding of current research results, effective and well-researched journalism is essential. For this reason, the focus of the first Communication Lab in June 2020 was on the topic of the Corona pandemic.

Furthermore, the jury has decided to award a special prize to Mele Pesti for her children's book "The Life and Adventures of Brandon B. and Bea P."

All winning entries can be found on the website of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
