And of course the people behind the scenes that still provided endless support and the energy needed: Michi, Miri, Alex, Claudia, Leon, Cecile and of course my parents- they were on this science ride with me from day one. Thank you all so much! ⭐️

Finished my last step in my Habilitation!🙌 A 🧵
I am beyond grateful of many people that were by my side. First, the biggest “thank you” goes to @JeroenPasterk. Thank you for amazing projects together, your support, inspiration, encouragement, calmness and insight.

[Katja Burk @KatjaBurk]

My team- without you nothing would have been possible. Your the wildest, most hardworking bunch. Such a pleasure working with you: Vivian, Ronja, Bastian, @AKoufali, Lars, Maria, Anna, Lidiia. Thank you! Also thanks to all the adminin angels, especially @chrispotters and Omar. ⭐️

[Katja Burk @KatjaBurk]

I also want to send a big thanks to @bahr_mathias who gave me the opportunity to become an independent PI, build my lab, gave constant support and encouragement and the occasional push when I needed it. Biggest thanks to Silvio Rizzoli and Reinhard Jahn for being amazing mentors.
