So happy to be part of this amazing crowd of people!
Meet the scientists who are #ImagingTheFuture in the field of cryo-correlative light + electron microscopy. Their work will help the field gain a deeper mechanistic understanding of proteins ⬇️ 🧵

Cannot wait to get our brand new super-resolution #cryoCLEM project started! 😃Exciting collaboration with Lindsay Baker's lab @BiochemOxford, @KavliOxford @CssbHamburg @cziscience
🎉 Meet our new imaging grantees, who are working to improve #CryoCLEM imaging probes so researchers have a more detailed view of cells and help advance our understanding of health + disease ⤵️ bit.ly/46bDvgy

New episode of #BlackBoxScience! This time I’m asking the question: Why are we scientists? 🤔🫣 It touches a bit on what we need to be happy 🥳 #AcademicTwitter

Finally, after quite some wait, we have completed a new episode of #BlackBoxScience! This one is asking the question of how much business-like you are running your group and how much decision making is happening on a pure scientific basis. #AcademicTwitter teapawt.net/KaufmannLab/status/164…

Totally agree. Even in a city like Hamburg it’s a challenge to find suitable daycare for both working fulltime. We (which means my wife) also got a lot of comments like “maybe you want to reduce hours” or “it might be better for your daughter to stay at home with her mum”.
Another day in #IchbinHanna's life: Dropped son of at his daycare, was pulled aside by one of the caretakers and chastised for having been late in picking him up recently. 1/n

A researcher criticizing every paper he has ever published.😲 Seems to me like a healthy exercise that we should all do from time to time (at least for ourselves😉), particularly in hindsight of the constantly evolving science. Thx for the honesty and inspiration @TheHandLab !👍

Out now! A new episode of #BlackBoxScience! This time: How science is usually assumed to happen💡🧑‍🔬📊 vs. how it is actually happening🙂🤔😟😭🤔😮🤯😃🥳. Spoiler: The solution is a concept introduced by @UriAlonWeizmann ☁️ #PhDLife #AcademicTwitter

#ThrowbackThursday to pretty much exactly 7 years back when I spent a few weeks in Marc Brecht’s lab @uni_tue for some crazy experiments with #cryoEM grids in their cryostat. The photo shows the super high-tech cryo sample transfer station that I had built for that purpose ;)
