“I just need to do a quick medium change. Don’t worry, I won’t need much space!” 😁👉

What would you do in this situation? Exactly. Say no. ❌🛑

But can it harm to share the hood with someone else for a short time 👀? Yes, it can. 🫵

There is an increased risk of cross-contamination 👎👎👎, the worst type of contamination in the cell culture lab.

This can happen through

👉 Aerosol formation while working. Remember, even the best pipetting practices will generate at least small amounts of aerosols.

It is common knowledge that the greater the biological diversity of an #ecosystem, the higher its likelihood to survive. Why? Well, because ecosystems with more options to respond to external or internal challenges simply have bigger potential for #adaptation. 💪💪

Time and time again, we have seen that diversity is also important for the composition of teams in life science labs. Here, we are not talking just about the diversity regarding gender, nationality, age etc. We take this for […]

Yes, we can. Here is why. 👉

A project is “a piece of planned work or an activity that is finished over a period of time and intended to achieve a particular purpose” according to #CambridgeDictionary. 📚📚

Well, they could be talking about experiments, right? 😊

After all, an experiment has to be

– planned 📝

– executed 🎯

– and finished within a certain period of time. 📅

But there is more to it. ☝

In project management it is said that “1 […]

Melting snow, blooming flowers, sprouting greenery caused by the tilt of the earth’s axis. The sun’s rays hit the northern hemisphere at a steeper angle ☀🌍, resulting in longer daylight, warmer temperatures, buzzing insects 🦗, hungry bees 🐝 and chirping birds 🐦. Reproductive systems awaken 💞, as more food is available the following months, ensuring better survival of offspring 🐣🐥.

The earth moves around the sun at a speed of 30 km/s and with an inclined axis. This […]

The 19th Annual Meeting of the Austrian Cluster for Tissue Regeneration 2025 took place in the 200-year-old domed hall of the Technical University Vienna (“#Kuppelsaal”) with its impressive wooden construction with exposed arched trusses by de L’Orme. 🏛️

How to describe the Cluster Meeting? Meeting old friends, making new friends, catching up and staying tuned. The #friendly and #positive atmosphere of the Austrian Cluster for Tissue Regeneration meeting always creates #space for discussions and […]

It was back then in my PhD days. I was in the middle of writing my thesis, when I stumbled upon something really interesting. In a publication, a researcher had cited a study where a mysterious subpopulation was found among a certain cell population. I was puzzled 😳. So far, I had never heard of this subpopulation, although, at this point, I had an almost exhaustive collection of publications about that […]
