Gaining 49 lbs a day?!? 🤯

So cool!

Great that first episode of new podcast series from Nature Biotechnology is an interview with Marcus Walker on his amazing work in our group engineering living cells for materials. I enjoyed the listen - especially how PhD students should pick projects that match their way of working.🧑‍🎓

Congratulations Julie Finkel, PhD student in our team Integrative Biophysics of Membranes, who won the best presentation award at #fnano24 👍
