Our new seminar series on Dev. and Stem Cell Bio kicked off fantastically! Over 70 attendees and a discussion that wouldn't stop. We are bringing together invited scientists from 3 Frriburg Institutes and combine big concepts from animals and plants. Thanks to my co-organizer @aliseleit.bsky.social!

DOMPS@domps-ufr.bsky.social

Last Wednesday we launched the Developmental & Stem Cell Biology seminar series! Bringing together research across plants and animals, the first session featured Joshua Frenster and Chengzhi Ren, followed by pizza & drinks. A great initiative by @joshifrenster.bsky.social and @aliseleit.bsky.social!

Welcome to Freiburg, Bakteriopolis! We’re very happy to be part of the organising team and to bring this fascinating microbial world to Freiburg. Come by, explore, and discover the hidden world of microbes! 👉 kurzlinks.de/bua1 #Bakteriopolis #Microbiology #ScienceCommunication

Wolfgang Hess@cyanolab.bsky.social

Bakteriopolis, now in Freiburg. A cool, interactive exhibition about the tiny ones. Mo-Fri 10:00 to 16:00, other times can be arranged.

@sfb1381.bsky.social

What are protein machineries if not "small wonders"? 🔬✨ Together with CIBSS and the Life Imaging Center, we recently hosted “Türen auf mit der Maus,” where 32 mini-scientists dove into the microscopic world! 🌟 It was a fantastic day of wonder and learning- thanks to everyone! @cibss.bsky.social
