I am excited to share the amazing news I was awarded the Villum Young Investigator grant (1.2M €)!The project we will investigate both parasitic and symbiotic Fungi associated with Hemipteran insects in South America, Africa and Asia.
Two postdoc positions to be announced soon!

The annual #VillumExperiment meeting for our grant holders is always a great experience with a lot of energy the room. This year we ask grant holders to come up with good and not-so-good uses of generative AI in grant proposal writing to inform our future policy in @VILLUMFONDEN.

Our new research on a calcareous syconoid sponge, reveals high choanocyte pumping rates and sheds light on its aquiferous system, enhancing our understanding of sponge fluid dynamics. @VILLUMscience #IndependentResearchFundDenmark @BiologyAarhus @AarhusUni https://t.co/btQDrKACYa

[Research on Research Institute (RoRI) @RoRInstitute]

One week to go until the launch of our new event series on experimenting with funding!

Next Wed 23 Oct, we'll talk about double-blind proposal evaluation @VILLUMFONDEN, where the review panel only sees an anonymous research proposal, and the identity of the review panel is not disclosed.

New Paper in Marine Pollution Bulletin:

Epiphytes can turn seagrass phyllospheres into hotspots for N2O production/emission, and lead to toxic NO and H2S production in anoxic leaf microenvironments.

Efficient power-to-X is to a large extent a materials challenge. At the #VillumFellow seminar @kirsten_mj outlines how fundamental investigations of the nanostructure of electrocatalysts may lead to better synthesis processes.

[Science at VILLUM @VILLUMscience]

How do you scale basic research in power-to-X to an industrial scale? Peter Vesborg from the Villum P2X accelerator at @DTUtweet outlines their approach at the #VillumFellow meeting.
