In September I went to a very cool island close to Mauritius 🦤 It's called Rodrigues. Besides nice beaches and corals you can also find awesome Aldabra Tortoise 🐢

Rare mountain creature post :) I thought it's time to splash hiking pics again from several huts in Switzerland: Planurahütte, Panossière and Wildhorn 🇨🇭

Headed to Metabolomics 2025 in Prague? Let's talk sample prep! The old adage "garbage in, garbage out" is the rule in metabolomics. Your data's quality depends on it.

Say hi if you are at the @asms.org in Baltimore! I will be there this week to talk about automation, metabolomics and sample prep! #TeamMassSpec
The countdown is on! End of the week, Baltimore will be buzzing with the latest in mass spectrometry, and we are excited to be part of the action at ASMS 2025 (June 1-5).

This was a super fun afternoon at JAG robotics. We set up the two robots in no time and we all got excited about how easy it was. It would be fun to implement this further!
Imagine biobank samples moving autonomously to your prep station, pipettes restocking themselves, and data flowing seamlessly to your analysis – all while you focus on discovery. We teamed up with JAG Robotics to try it out.

Another day another hike! Brisenhaus 2.0 but this time it felt like a spring hike rather than a winter hike compared to last week. Halfway through I put my snowshoes away :)
