What's the cost of German bureaucracy? For a DAAD PhD, it's 6 months of waiting for a visa, then €350 per semester just to get basic student privileges (like a login and transportation!). We can't claim to be a research powerhouse and then treat international scholars this way. #DAAD

And it's a wrap for my talk at European Federation of Biotechnology - Designer Biology in Newcastle, where I showed biologists how can artificial cells imitate real ones, just worse!
