Asmita, Adelheid and Ian on blue background and scientific cartoons around the picture, such as DNA, dinosaur, flower, test tube, stars and saturn.

One day, Adelheid Weidinger and I told ian banerjee about our concerns about current lab practices, and the alarming lack of knowledge. 😳

Ian was thrilled when we presented our idea of producing video tutorials for the cell culture lab πŸ“½οΈπŸ”¬πŸ§¬πŸ§ͺ.

His feedback on our storyboards and videos definitely shaped the development of lablife.video. But even more important was his enthusiasm and unwavering belief in our idea

πŸ‘‰ And This Is Precisely Why Racks Were Invented…

2026-05-04|Categories: Blog|

Picture of 2 mL tube on blue-green background fallen over and red liquid spilled all over the workspace, cartoon eyes looking into the β€œcamera”.

β€œI will just put the tube down for a moment!” ☝️

β€œLuckily, it can stand by its own!” πŸ‘

How about a rack? πŸ‘€

Racks are often reduced to colourful fillers on dusty shelves in laboratory cabinets (as if they needed it). πŸ™„

Sometimes they are at least used to store tubes with solutions at the back of our workspaces (also collecting dust over time). πŸ™„

However, if we use tubes that are designed to stand on their […]

Our take on the 33rd Biomed Austria Conference βœ¨πŸŽ€πŸ”¬πŸš€βœ¨

The 33rd Biomed Austria Conference has once again shown us just how forward-thinking an association can be πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€. Biomed Austria – Γ–sterreichische Fachgesellschaft fΓΌr Biomedizinische Analytik stands for #quality, reliability and the highest standards. No wonder, their emphasis is on forward-thinking #education, #support and #collaboration.

People who work in laboratories are not simply people who work in laboratories πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”¬ . They may be first-year students, but they can also be highly specialized experts such as biomedical scientists. It is […]

Do a little bit of radicchio πŸ₯¬, and a few slices of radish and a carrot πŸ₯• qualify for a salad πŸ₯—πŸ‘€?

In research, too, we tend to think in superlatives πŸ“ˆπŸš€πŸ›Έ, trying to achieve as many impact points as possible, trying to generate huge amounts of data, trying to obtain the most prestigious research grants, because if we don’t, we are considered failures πŸ•³οΈ.

But is our performance really only about visibility and speed 😐?

What about failed experiments, and poor reproducibility? These are reasons, why we […]

The Power and Beauty of Collaboration: India Science Day TU Wien 2026 πŸ’ž

2026-03-25|Categories: Blog|

Ian Banerjee, Radha Anjali, Jalil Saber-Jaimian, Asmita Banerjee, and Adelheid Weidinger at TU Wien India Science Day.

Globalisation has been a hot topic for about two decades. But where does true #globalisation begin? Probably with mutual #respect and #friendship. πŸ€”

Last Friday we participated in India Science Day 2026 at TU Wien. And yes, there were inspiring discussions about strengthening scientific and technological #cooperation between #Austria and #India 🀝. What was really moving, however, were the many deep friendships that have developed between these two countries πŸ«‚. This spirit was felt throughout the entire event πŸ€—.

French Subtitles on lablife.video: Science Education Should Not Be Limited By Language β˜οΈπŸš€β˜οΈ

Women in white lab coat beside a laboratory microscope saying "Et maintenant.. Francais!"

We are excited to share that lablife.video now offers #French #subtitles for our #Francophone friends! πŸ₯³β˜

French is one of the top five spoken languages on the planet 🌍🌎🌏 . According to the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (#OIF), about 321 million people worldwide speak French as a native, second or learned language. And some of them work in cell culture labs, don’t they πŸ‘€?

With the French subtitles, lablife.video […]
