All work and no play ruins a scientist's life!

At least, that's our excuse to take some time off and become kids again. 😁

By popular vote, the main activity was Laser-tag, which was as fun as it was exhausting!

I feel lucky to have such a fun group to create these memories with!

I engineer bacteria, but never saw it as a tech product until I unboxed Zbiotics' Sugar-To-Fiber!

The packaging is beautifully designed to be encouraging and educational about this incredible GMO probiotic that turns sugar into gut-friendly fiber.

Anyone else tried it yet?

My first Waymo self-driving car exotics in San Francisco!

It's was so much fun and surprisingly felt totally normal after a few minutes.

The car handles the traffic really well and I felt safe and relaxed inside.

Curious to see how fast this tech expands elsewhere.

But the real show-stopper was our excursion to Huangshan - Yellow Mountains, a UNESCO heritage site.
Our hike was filled with sights so spectacular that they seemed surreal.
And any superlative I can use to describe the beauty of the SUNSET would be an understatement.

Two weeks ago I was at the China-Germany Symposium on Immunity at the crossroads.

I thought it was going to be a cozy little event but was astounded by the extravagant organization, enthusiastic media team, and excellent science shared.

Thanks to our local hosts for pampering us so much 😁

Last week our group engaged with the public in the @uni-saarland.de Open Day. We shared glowing bacteria, DNA candy, Bio-keychains & more.
Yesterday, we celebrated with a sunny Grill-fest and fun games.
Sandi from the group created this exciting video that captures the joy & energy of these events!

German Biotech Days #DBT2025 in Heidelberg is an exciting and vibrant place to be if you're interested in Bio solutions for the world!
Thrilled to be here, learn about the future of biotech, and connect with innovators in the field 😁🧬🤝
