    This years EMPSEB conference (The European Meeting of PhD Students in Evolutionary Biology) was a really exciting experience for me. I met a lot of nice people and got helpful feedback and tips. It was quite surprising how widespread the use of bioinformatics is! #EMPSEB31 #lentibulariaceae #carnivory #evolutionarybiology #plantbiology

    Recently I visited my plant biology friend @leondo_d in Kiel. Their Botanical Garden is worth a visit! Currently they have built up a nice butterfly house I highly recommend to visit. But I also helped out in the lab and learned a new method. A. rhizogenes was injected into leaf midribs. Later, some transgenic roots will (hopefully) emerge from there! Picture 2 was taken and thankfully provided by Leon (https://orcid.org/0009-0000-4184-729X). #PlantScience #Kiel #BotanicalGarden #Butterfly #Ag...

    Sometimes a mold can also inhabit its own beauty but this one will not last long (because we throw it away). True beauty never fades, at least if it is growing as good as the plant on phytohormones in the second picture. These pictures are from Elena&amp;#39;s trials to establish new in vitro cultures based on vegetative plant tissue. She and Daniel are bachelor students that help me in the lab a lot :) The third picture ... (1/2) #plantbiology #mold #invitro #lentibulariaceae
