I can no longer fly around the globe for 45 min talks/seminars, and at the same time explain my sons how their future planet will look like. Below an email that I got after I explained why I am unable to speak at a conference. This gives hope,... We can lead by example!

Sometimes it’s not you, it’s them 🙄😂😭 #academia

Our coordinator of the ITN project ConCO2rde, Sandy Schmidt just received a highly competitive and prestigious research grant. Congratulation! We are looking forward to your results in the coming years. #biocatalysis, #sustainability, #Biotechnology, #University, RWTH Aachen

Warm congratulations to Tobias Erb SYBORG who has just received this year`s 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗲 by Merck Deutschland for his ground-breaking #research on synthetic #photosynthesis! #Curious2022 #syntheticbiology

#MPITMTour: How can we redesign #photosynthesis using #synbio to fix #CO2 more efficiently? #ClimateCrisis Learn more about our Dept of Biochemistry & Synthetic Metabolism led by Tobi Erb, SYBORG mpi-marburg.mpg.de/biochemistry-a…

Renewable carbon sources (biomass, CO2, recycling material) are now on the agenda, to leave every ton of crude oil, and every other fossil resource in the ground. We have the technologies, but will we be fast enough to make them competitive? Pricing CO2 will help. #Sustainability

We will head to Strasbourg for our first hybrid meeting of Mix-Up H2020 after the February 2020 kick-off. @SopremaFR will be the host. We look forward to some intense 3 days of sharing progress towards overcoming the #plasticcrisis. #Sustainability, #bioeconomy

If the calories come from grass grown on land that can not be used otherwise, the "waste" might be acceptable. If it comes from soy, corn etc. hence from farmland that can produce food, we cannot accept these 97%. In Germany, 60% of all grain is for feed and not for food.

The Biosurfactant #conference organized by Rudi Hausmann is starting tomorrow. Truly excited to learn and discuss the progress in this very dynamic field of research. #sustainability, #bioeconomy, #bioengineering, #biodegradable biosurfactants.uni-hohenheim.de/en

We are joining the Biosurfactants conference in Hohenheim with 8 people from RWTH Aachen Aachen. Which biosurfactant is next reaching the market? Which substrate will be used? Plastic monomers? Mix-Up H2020 #Sustainability, #bioeconomy, #Microbiology mix-up.eu

The way to formatotrophy was long and rocky. So will be the way to sustainability. But we will walk it! 1/4 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thanks to Lauterbach lab who brought us together and pushed the grant application, we will be able to display our passion for microbiology on our building facade! Looking forward to the many opportunities that will arise. #Sustainability #bioeconomy RWTH Aachen #metabolicengineering

There is a new FSC publication by Carolin Grütering, Lars M. Blank and co-authors in Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry.🥳This article is the result of an exciting collaboration between institutes at @WWU_Muenster and RWTH Aachen. 👓 Read it right here: bit.ly/3WgK0uw #exc

This short article on how burning coal causes global warming was published 110 years ago. Now it is high time to act on the climate crisis.

How to overproduce pyruvate and derived valuable chemicals from cellulosic sugars in aerobically grown P. putida while keeping high biomass yield? Read our paper in the newest volume of #MetabolicEngineering👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations! Increasing the rate AND the energy metabolism is an intriguing approach.

Everyone is aware of the plastic crisis #plasticpollution #plasticwaste. Janice Overbeck and team looked at how we get a sustainable plastic economy installed. Movie trailer: comingsoon.net/movies/trailer… RWTH Aachen Mix-Up H2020

Stay tuned. Microbes will also be featured!
