With our lab course in macromolecular chemistry at @tuda.bsky.social, we had the exciting opportunity to visit one of the technologically most advanced recycling plant for #HDPE at PreZero Polymers GmbH. They recycle post-consumer HDPE into high quality recycled material, e.g. for shampoo bottles

It is great to be back in Basel, where my independent academic career started many years ago under the mentorship of the late, great Wolfgang Meier. Now I am here for the #RepArtZymes Conference! @unibas.ch @tuda.bsky.social @metrazymes.bsky.social

We have a new Doctor in the house! Dr. Ornati! Congratulations, Eleonora, on an excellent PhD thesis and an excellent viva! Thanks for making the journey from @unistrathclyde.bsky.social to @tuda.bsky.social with me and the group, and for making enzymatic polymerizations in living cells a reality!
