More than 100 scientists (39 PIs, 24 Postdocs, 34 PhD-students & 5 sponsors) from 9 different countries (China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, UK, USA) participated to the international ICIPS Symposium (25-28.03.2025) in Berlin.
Thank you to all of you !
Last month, all @icips.bsky.social members met at the JLU in Gießen for our 4th annual "Retreat" meeting.
We had some very productive and intensive discussions during the three days of the meeting...

@icips.bsky.social on TV📺:
The German national radio/TV channel NDR presented on 18.5.2025 some ICIPS works done within the group of Prof. Zachgo in Osnabrück during a short documentary entitled:
"Fountain Liverwort (Marchantia) - the discrete Star in research"🎥🌱🤩

Brunnenlebermoos - der unscheinbare Star in der Forschung
Forschende haben herausgefunden, wie anpassungsfähig diese Moosart ist. Kann sie Kulturpflanzen fit für den Klimawandel machen?
