We kicked off with FameLab Switzerland Basel edition yesterday. I had an amazing time hosting and hearing some very creative 3-min talks. Thank you Science Slam Club Basel for this opportunity 😁

Many thanks to The Experimentalist and Eisha Mhatre offer a chance to express my views on this interesting topic!

Thank you for the shout-out! Looking forward to the conference 😊

What little things tel us about big questions (in biology). New edition of ‘Experimental Evolution & the Nature of Biodiversity’ out today. global.oup.com/academic/produ…

🙌🏼 Another edition of FameLab Switzerland! After moderating the Basel edition Science Slam Club Basel, excited to be a jury at Zürich edition Life Science Zurich

We are delighted to announce our upcoming free workshop: Storyboarding your Science. 🗓️ When? June 25th | 4-6 pm CET 📍 Where? on Zoom 🖊️ Register by 15th June: theexperimentalist.org/services/event… #scienceoutreach #creativethinking #scicomm

Do researchers face writer's block? Yes, they do. Putting your ideas in words, compellingly and engagingly isn't easy. Here's our list of "Essentials of Scientific Writing" for doctoral students who are just starting. #scientificwriting #publishing

As of now, researchers in Switzerland can – for the first time in three years – apply for an ERC Advanced Grant from #HorizonEurope. 🗓️ The call will be ongoing until 29 August. Full association with the programme remains crucial for Swiss #science and the Swiss #economy.

Two weeks left to register for this amazing 'Storyboarding your Science' workshop! #scicomm #creativethinking

CAREER UPDATE: The Microbial Ecosystems Laboratory will be active starting Jan 2025 at Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University and ASU School of Molecular Sciences, where I will begin as an assistant professor. We’ll explore how interactions at the microscale influence global functions of microbial communities.

Fame Lab offers such a creative platform for scientists to put out their research stories. Glad to be a jury on this one- thanks Silvie Life Science Zurich. And all the best to the FameLab Switzerland finalists!

Accepting registrations until Friday, June 20. Join in for some improv!

I continue to be somewhat disappointed by Oxford Nanopore. Is this normal? New kit, fresh supplies, pretty clean samples but portion of good pores goes down rapidly. Is this normal?!

Today in Science Magazine, we report how a bacteria has evolved into a major human pathogen over the last 200 years. Read on, this is going to be an adventurous ride 1/n! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I think that microbes experience nutrient limitation in a continuous way, but experiments aren't usually designed to capture that. Thoughts (and massive concept map) from Michael Manhart and I in the Microbial Systems and Synthetic Biology themed issue: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A small memory from 2016 of my first research group in Jena, a drawing by Manasa Bharathwaj (if I correctly remember) - do you regonize yourselves, Anna Dragos, Eisha Mhatre, Ramses Gallegos, Marivic Martin-Pohle, PhD, Heiko T. Kiesewalter, Theresa Jautzus?

We are back with one more free workshop on Storyboarding Your Science. 🗓️ When? Sep 25th | 3-5 pm CET 📍 Where? on Zoom theexperimentalist.org/services/event… 🖊️ Register by 20th September using this Google form link: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Through this webinar, our goal is to bring gender inequality in science to the forefront and collaboratively identify creative solutions as science communicators. Register soon.
