Twelve female scientists are the focus of the exhibition “Versäumte Bilder” (Missed Images) – women who have shaped their fields and paved the way as pioneers in formerly male-dominated disciplines. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), images have been created that did not exist during the lifetime of those portrayed. The technology becomes a creative tool for making the often invisible stories of these researchers visible.

Initiated by the Central Equal Opportunities Officer and the Department of University Communications, and implemented by science photographer Gesine Born and her image institute, the series shows the history of women in science from a new perspective.

After stops at the University Museum and the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space, the exhibition will be on display at the Poppelsdorf Campus in December 2025 and February 2026.
