Congratulation, @JohannesBergm11

[AMI Physics @AMI_Physics]

Today our own @JohannesBergm11 successfully defended his PhD thesis on insect antiadhesive surfaces! Big congrats on passing your exam, Johannes, very well done!!

[PlaMatSu @PlaMatSU]

Congratulations from PlaMatSu Central.

[AMI @MerkleInstitute]

Ending the week on a high: congrats to @PlaMatSU ESR Aris Kamtsikakis (@AMI_PolyChemMat) for his successful public defense of the #PhD thesis “Nanocomposite membranes inspired by the architecture of plant cuticles”!

[Christoph Weder @WederChristoph]

Happy to see that our paper on water transport through plant cuticles and artificial mimics of such membranes is now featured as an Editor’s highlight: https://t.co/AIOcqPqzRS

[PlaMatSu @PlaMatSU]

Excellent work! @PlaMatSU @MSCActions

[Polymers&Materials @AMI_PolyChemMat]

Thanks to @plamatsu and Lukas Schreiber @unibonn we learned more about leaf cuticles than we ever dreamed of. Read about adaptive directional water transport through these biomembranes and our #bioinspired knockoffs in @NatureComms :

Surfaces beetles can't walk on - maybe not the best way to make beetle friends at first but cellulose derivatives offer an excellent nontoxic insecticide replacement!🌱🌾🌽 By @JohannesBergm11 and @MerkleInstitute researchers. @Bruns_Lab @Beverley_CUBG
