How to be more than the sum of our parts?
>COLLABORATION, the focus of this year's leadership team retreat. Over 2 intense days, using the 4C Model(Contribution, Creativity, Consent, Communication) we found exciting new paths forward to combine our opto, electro, & bio research!

A Harry Potter spell in a cell.

What? How?

Hmm... optogenetics...condensates...shine light...uhh...

Just watch the clip, it'll all make sense...I think

If not, here's all about it on our 5th Material Minds Ep with Alexandra Fischer @GroupSyn - https://t.co/NZV4XBnsvR

Yesterday we as the #MatSynBio team had a lot of fun participating in the #FirmenlaufSaarbrücken. It was a great way to round off the first day of @Leibniz_INM evaluation.

[Leibniz_INM @Leibniz_INM]

After our evaluation, over 70 runners represented INM in the Saarbrucken Firmenlauf (Company Run). Congrats to all for completing the 5K.
David van Impelen was the fastest at 18:03 mins (ranked 13 overall), Albenc Nexha right behind at 18:59 and Makara Lay third at 20:18.

[LoopOfFun @LoopOfFun]

Thrilled to share that Prof. Weber (@Leibniz_INM
) and Carlotta Borgato (LUMA Arles) delivered an outstanding talk on the LoopOfFun project at the Bioregional Days at LUMA Arles on May 24, 2024. Learn more about LUMA and LoopOfFun workshop here: https://t.co/VjoOULdV2t

Our research group had an amazing time at the @Saar_Uni Open Day! Together with @ShrikrishnanS, we showcased our research in a fun and unique way (see as an example our colorful vegan caviar). Thanks to everyone who stopped by! @Leibniz_INM

[Leibniz_INM @Leibniz_INM]

The teams of @ShrikrishnanS and @GroupSyn showed how probiotic bacteria can be programmed to produce medicines and packaged in biosafe caviar-like gels.

[Leibniz_INM @Leibniz_INM]

In today's Open Day @Saar_Uni, we showed the public how much fun materials science can be!
People could build their own batteries, 3D print artificial seeds, play with non-newtonian fluids, eat self-made vegan caviar, and much more - 🧵
