Inspiring the next generation at Idorsia!
Yesterday, we welcomed 29 curious kids to Idorsia. The children of employees and members of our community, for National Future Day! They spent the day discovering what a biotech company does and exploring the fascinating world of science.
🔬 Hands-on Learning:
In small groups, the kids experienced the journey from identifying chemical compounds to understanding how biology and chemistry work together to fight disease. They learned how computers help design molecules, how biologists test compounds, and even how medicines are manufactured and shared with healthcare professionals.
💡 Fun in the Labs:
From observing the states of liquid nitrogen to mixing reagents and making dilutions with pipettes, the kids got a real taste of lab life. They even practiced chest compressions—a skill that’s always good to know!
😴 Sleep Science & Smart Tips:
The group explored why sleep matters, learned fun facts like, “Why do elephants sleep standing up?”, and picked up practical tips for better rest— because good sleep is the foundation for learning and discovery.
🎤 Ask Me Anything with Srishti:
The day ended with an AMA session where children asked questions ranging from, “What’s your favorite food?” to “What’s the goal of Idorsia?”. The kids were surprised to learn that it takes more than scientists to make our company thrive and that Idorsia employs a range of roles all working collaborative together to help patients.
👏 A Big Thank You:
We’re grateful to all the employee volunteers who made this day unforgettable. Your time and passion helped inspire future innovators!
