The Cross Against Cancer charity run is an inspiring event that raises awareness of cancer and funds the fight against it. Being so close in Homburg, we had to join! Congrats to all on Team INM who ran in the 5, 10 or 22.1 km stretches! 💪🏆 #Cancer

🚨New Material Minds podcast alert!🎙️Check out the latest episode where our very own @AlexFi13 dives into the fascinating world of using #Optogenetics to control cell functions.🌟🔬@Leibniz_INM
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 - piped.video/827vMx7agg4?si=_oNZ…

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.
Exciting times at INM! The @LeibnizWGL evaluators are here to evaluate our institute for continued funding over the next 7 years. After months of prep, our team made a strong impression today and tomorrow's the final review. Then, we finally relax and wait for the result.

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
Replying to @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. @marcblanch94 @Vrunvrun3 @Mahmudu16035635

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 - 🧵 @ShrikrishnanS @electrofluid @GroupSyn
