🧬I attempted RNA isolation on some grass from outside the faculty and obtained two perfect 18S and 28S rRNA bands...
So, my 10 failed attempts on my own sample were due to improper lysis, after all... I'm happy to figure out it wasn't my dirty RNase-hands...😅

🌳 Check out these two happy faces! Kimon and Elijah finished their bachelor's theses last week! 🌿
It was a lot of fun to guide them in the process and to have them working on my project. All the best with the next step, guys! 🪴

The high school girls got to isolate their own DNA and even took it home in a little test tube. Hopefully, we sparked some curiosity for a future in #STEM 💡🧬

🌳How do trees ensure their branches are not blown off by the wind, and can we harness this for 3D-printed structures?
Caroline's paper explores how wavy fibre patterns inspired by trees can toughen 3D-printed materials.🪴
