- GiulioS 7y agoHi, I found this on our Twitter feed - https://twitter.com/svblxyz/status/1206948966442708992 https://twitter.com/svblxyz/status/1206948966442708992. The link on the tweet goes to the university website and it's from here that I got all the information for the story. I also found this link on the uni's website that gave me additional information - https://www.uni-giessen.de/nachrichten.html https://www.uni-giessen.de/nachrichten.html (I translated both pages). I hope this helps.
