✍️ From the Editor
Hey Berliners!
Science meets cycling this week — and both happen to be free.
Saturday night, 60+ Berlin research institutions open their doors until midnight for the Long Night of Sciences. Particle physics, biotech, AI demos, astronomy and a children's programme from 16:00. €7.50 gets you into everything.
Sunday, tens of thousands of cyclists take over the motorways for the 50th ADFC Sternfahrt. The A100, Avus and Straße des 17. Juni are yours. No cars. Free.
And Sunday evening: Massive Attack at Zitadelle Spandau. Their only German show of 2026.
One more thing — the World Cup opens Thursday 11 June. Berlin's outdoor screening season starts this week.
See you out there.
