The Exsikkator is the VCS’ magazine. In the Exsikkator, you find everything related to uni, entertainment, university politics, and the most fascinating topics of chemistry.
Editorial meetings take place at least twice a semester. There, we discuss the next issue’s topic and get inspired for new articles. Do you want to be part of the Exsikkator? Feel free to send a message to exsi@vcs.ethz.ch or talk to one of the editorial staff!
