Today would have marked the 70th birthday of Loïc Auvray, who disappeared far too soon, nearly 10 years ago. His passion for research, scientific creativity and his friendship will always remain an inspiration. With many colleagues, I remember him with affection and admiration.

A rather thoughtfully arranged experiment on my hotel room floor on the first morning of the 30th (my first) Workshop on Single Molecule _Spectroscopy_ courtesy of @PicoQuant !

@skdh Precisely the age of our Philips microwave and Miele dishwasher (both still going strong). BTW, I am not sure that newer models are technically superior in any way except possibly resource efficiency. Some technology may just may have peaked around 1990.

@fake_journals One problem is editors not heeding reviewer's advice and accepting and publishing the paper anyway without further consultation, as, btw, also happened in the rat macropenis case. But I've seen it happen even with the most prominent journals. Apparently, some editors are biased.

@elonmusk They would be lying if it were untrue that their sources have told them that. Otherwise, they may be in error. This distinction matters here on Earth (how you do it on Mars from next week is your affair).

[Behrends Lab @BehrendsLab]

@elonmusk Egregiously Ludicrous and Outrageous Nonsense

[Behrends Lab @BehrendsLab]

@elonmusk ...it's a free world, Elon Musk. Save travels! Pip-pip!

Poster Alert!!! Pass by board B375 at #BPS2025 to see what is actually happening at aerolysin's trans outlet.

[Behrends Lab @BehrendsLab]

Feels good to be at #BPS2025 despite difficult times. @BiophysicalSoc has given us so much and continues to do so. Fluctuat nec mergitur!

[Behrends Lab @BehrendsLab]

Missing it this year because of the Parsegian sattelite. But went over to say hello. As lively as ever!

Day-1 #SMPS4, the first lecture by Jan Behrends, talking about Probing trapped macromolecules with ions: from “mass”, “size” and “shape” on to “chemistry”? @BehrendsLab

[Behrends Lab @BehrendsLab]

Finally translocating!

At the pore entry!

Planning tomorrow's trip...the Vereina-tunnel will be fun and à propos!

[Behrends Lab @BehrendsLab]

Very jolly: start-of-year Fondue-dinner in a really picturesque place in the woods above Freiburg. Future guests will enjoy this new discovery!
