🇮🇨🔬🇩🇪 Materials Engineer | PhD researcher at the Blasco Lab, 3DMM2O (Heidelberg University) | Exploring (sustainable) polymers, 3D printing, and materials characterization 🌱 | Inspired by art 🎨
🎃🍭 New paper out with @socatt.bsky.social & @blascolab.bsky.social in @rsc.org
3D printing at the microscale is very cool, but navigating the vast parameter space in multiphoton 3D laser printing can be a little… spooky 👻

What a week! ✨🌱

On Tuesday I had the honor of presenting our research at the Spanish Embassy in Berlin during the symposium “Algae: From the Sea (through the Lab) to the Market.”

It is a classic research story of how trying to tackle one problem led to a discovery of a much bigger and important problem. I want to thank my Post-doctoral advisor @blascolab.bsky.social and my super talented colleague @claravamar.bsky.social

I wanted to share this earlier, but it was hard to focus on science in the last couple of days. My work on benchmarking mechanical properties of 3D printed Elastomeric microstructures is officially published!

A systematic review and meta-analysis in Nature Human Behaviour shows that people discern true from false news with ease. When making mistakes, people err on the side of skepticism and rate true news as false, instead of being fooled by false news. https://go.nature.com/4h6TQZC 🧪

In the US alone, each year, norovirus causes ~20 million acute gastroenteritis cases, 70,000 hospitalizations, up to 800 deaths, at a cost of ~$10.6 billion annually.
An pill vaccine shows considerable promise in a clinical trial, establishing mucosal immunity
www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
An oral norovirus vaccine tablet was safe and elicited mucosal immunity in older adults in a phase 1b clinical trial
An oral norovirus vaccine tablet is safe and induces strong mucosal and systemic immune responses in adults aged 55 to 80 years.

Nanobrücken 2025 was inspiring and in the best company @socatt.bsky.social! Great to see a broad palette of materials, from metals to biological structures like lignin & insect jaws. Huge thanks to Bruker & FraunhoferIMWS for a fantastic event—and for the Best Student Talk Award! Until next time! ⭐️
