Guess where this one was taken? I have hidden some locations not to give it away too easily.

It’s the first time I’ve attended a conference where bags of human urine and feces so often take center stage. Quite a departure from the photosynthesis we discussed on day one. If we want to conquer space and Mars these are the challenges, but also the opportunities and solutions.

The habitat for the next manned Moon mission looks, to me, surprisingly similar to the wagons that pioneers and colonizers once used in places like America and South Africa. At first glance, not much seems to have changed since the 19th century — but the technology behind it today is truly exciting!

Good to be in beautiful Granada, Spain, for the 2025 MELiSSA Conference. I’ll be speaking about how photosynthesis research can help us get more out of each solar photon. Looking forward to getting to know this community!

Beautiful and somehow similar to the installation at the Light Festival in Amsterdam.
