Surprise! Almost A New Acquaintance ππ»βοΈππ»βοΈππ»βοΈ

One day, Adelheid Weidinger and I told ian banerjee about our concerns about current lab practices, and the alarming lack of knowledge. π³
Ian was thrilled when we presented our idea of producing video tutorials for the cell culture lab π½οΈπ¬π§¬π§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

π And This Is Precisely Why Racks Were Inventedβ¦

βI will just put the tube down for a moment!β βοΈ
βLuckily, it can stand by its own!β π
How about a rack? π
Racks are often reduced to colourful fillers on dusty shelves in laboratory cabinets (as if they needed it). π
Sometimes they are at least used to store tubes with solutions at the back of our workspaces (also collecting dust over time). π
However, if we use tubes that are designed to stand on their [β¦]
Our take on the 33rd Biomed Austria Conference β¨π€π¬πβ¨

The 33rd Biomed Austria Conference has once again shown us just how forward-thinking an association can be πππ. Biomed Austria β Γsterreichische 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 π©βπ¬π¨βπ¬ . They may be first-year students, but they can also be highly specialized experts such as biomedical scientists. It is [β¦]

Do a little bit of radicchio π₯¬, and a few slices of radish and a carrot π₯ qualify for a salad π₯π?
In research, too, we tend to think in superlatives πππΈ, 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 donβt, we are considered failures π³οΈ.
But is our performance really only about visibility and speed π?
What about failed experiments, and poor reproducibility? These are reasons, why we [β¦]
The Power and Beauty of Collaboration: India Science Day TU Wien 2026 π

Globalisation has been a hot topic for about two decades. But where does true #globalisation begin? Probably with mutual #respect and #friendship. π€
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 π€. What was really moving, however, were the many deep friendships that have developed between these two countries π«. This spirit was felt throughout the entire event π€.

French Subtitles on lablife.video: Science Education Should Not Be Limited By Language βοΈπβοΈ

We are excited to share that lablife.video now offers #French #subtitles for our #Francophone friends! π₯³β
French is one of the top five spoken languages on the planet πππ . 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, donβt they π?
