Hassium Zone

Hassium was first made in the German state of Hesse, which is where the element’s name comes from. As an element, Hassium is created by bombarding lead with iron atoms, however it does not occur naturally and has no known biological role.

In this general science zone are six scientists working in a range of fields. One scientist is making bacteria glow in the presence of soil pollution, while another analyses specimens from patients to help doctors to diagnose infections. There’s a scientist who runs projects aimed at increasing public understanding of mining and quarrying industries, and someone who teaches and prepares for chemistry and environmental classes at a university. There’s also a PhD Student in Health Science, and a scientist who tests drugs to be sure they are safe for patients.
