Absolutely gorgeous microscopy and time-lapse imaging on this plant-mutualist-pathogen system! Insane in the membrane 🎶 Well done @alexguyon.bsky.social @dromius.bsky.social and colleagues!

Big congrats to Leonora Peters 🎉! She won 1 of only 2 poster prizes at the Organelles Meeting 🏆Her Master’s thesis was linked to our RTG - and now she joined us as a doctoral researcher in the RTG. We’re excited Leonora continues her science journey with us! 🚀

Lab bubble tea break. Thanks everyone for your hard work!

Ready for the image competition for the long night of science. Vanessa’s seedling looks great and also the other entries are worth a visit.

I think this is a really interesting approach of capturing architecture in a quantitative manor. It is fascinating to see how motor proteins can have a large scale impact. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

When it comes to song names, I find this one the most puzzling “The Spanish Entomologist” simply geinous! It reminds me of Sponge Bob. music.apple.com/de/album/the...
