April was a big month — #SFB2025 was an incredible experience. Grateful for the chance to present my research and to connect and learn with so many brilliant scientists. Huge milestone, and definitely not the last!
@thelaar.bsky.social delivers masterful talk on mRNA LNPs!

My group plotted a Bluesky ambush this week. They all joined at once—with handles mimicking “thewooj.” 😂💀 Follow the chaos (and our science!): @thejooosh.bsky.social @thesoor.bsky.social @thehaan.bsky.social @thelaar.bsky.social @thechaar.bsky.social @themiiche.bsky.social @thegaaa.bsky.social
