Thrilled to share an article in @natrevpsychol.nature.com! 🧠 I reflect on how a PNAS piece has helped me see that #interdisciplinarity is not merely beneficial, but vital, for tackling real-world problems @dondersinst.bsky.social @decisioncenter.bsky.social

New technology continues to amaze us---here we report on the persuasive power of AI as a 40-person team. How amazing will bottom-up synthetic immunology technology be? Fingers crossed for SynthImmune on Thursday!

New technology challenges communication inside and outside the classroom, as my recent paper explains. Fingers crossed we get to explore this question soon for emerging synthetic biotechnology within SynthImmune

The SynthImmune project by Heidelberg University& partner institutes advances a "bottom-up" synthetic biology approach to immunotherapies.
Hoping they do well in the German government's Excellence Strategy—anticipating the announcement on 22 May.
