Our dean at the Faculty of Agriculture Food & Engineering is the only dean @unibonn.bsky.social who wears a chain of office. This is a relict of the time before our faculty joined the University of Bonn in 1934 and was an independent Agricultural University. During that era it was the rector’s chain

Yesterday 25 years ago, the first human chromosome (chr. 22) was sequenced. Back then, sequencing of the second smallest chromosome took them almost 10 years!

Sequencing of the whole human genome was completed in 2003 at estimated costs of $ 2.7 billion. Nowadays you can sequence a whole human genome for less than $ 1000. To achieve an accuracy compareable to the 2003 genome sequence costs would be today around $ 10 - 20 million.

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

Schön, dass sich Wissenschaftler:innen das wieder trauen, trotz Feldzerstörungen. Wissenschaftsfreiheit muss gelebt und verteidigt werden.
