🧪📸 Spent 2 years exploring forests in Sweden & Finland, observing (not picking) fungi. So many shapes, colors, and species — this collage is just a glimpse. Nordic nature is full of surprises.

When you’re at #ECTS2025 to give a talk on the applications of Raman spectroscopy to study #bone #biomineralization, but find a Raman hairstylist instead.

Nepenthes is a genus of carnivorous #plants, also known as tropical pitcher plants, or monkey cups, in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus includes about 170 species, and numerous natural and many cultivated hybrids. [Source: Wikipedia]

🧪🥼🔬 The “Biomineralization and Biointerfaces” group webpage is up and running! 🥳🍾

www.gu.se/en/research/...
The Biomineralization and Biointerfaces Group investigates “bone as a material”, examining the structure, composition, and adaptation under diverse conditions using advanced techniques such as electron microscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray micro-computed tomography, encompassing the macro-, micro-, and nanoscale. Bone is a complex, living tissue with a hierarchical architecture, from tiny mineral crystals to the entire skeleton. Particular attention is on the mineral component of the extracellular matrix and the mineralisation process of osteocytes (micropetrosis), bone repair biomaterials such as calcium phosphates, titanium, magnesium, and cobalt-chromium alloys, and distinguishing bone mineral from other bioapatites (e.g., in dental enamel) and geological apatites (i.e., hydroxy(l)apatite).

You know you're doomed when even the sky begins to look like #bone 🦴🌥️

Can you guess which one is bone and which one is the sky? 😁

“To bring human back to life…”

Say what?

If you thought things couldn’t get more ridiculous, I was recently asked to review this manuscript by a Springer Nature journal 🤯

And that wasn’t even the biggest problem with this manuscript! 😬🫣🙃😱
