The life sciences – fascinating and mind-blowing on the one hand 🦑🌸🪱, but also marked by crises on the other, such as the reproducibility crisis 😮, the pressure to publish 😮 (which automatically leads to a reduction in research quality), the growing public scepticism towards science 😮… the list goes on.
But another lecture at Hochschule Campus Wien | Department Gesundheitswissenschaften showed us how much the next generation really cares. Their focus, their interest, their questions, and their sheer disbelief in certain matters in the life sciences showed us that there is hope 😊🌈.
At the very end, we showed a short video (Nanolive SA) taken by our master’s student Melika Torabian. A short time lapse video, with cells in culture moving around the plate, busily following a plan. A plan that is (still) secret to humans, but spectacular to watch! 🫢🫢🫢
More than 200 students were watching the video – and there was pin-drop silence in the hall. A silence that speaks volumes.
And this is why we have hope. Hope that future generations will value quality in the life sciences. 👍🙂
Thank you Sabine Enzinger 🙋🏻♀️!
