“I have to split my cells. But I don’t have time.”

“C’mon! Split them tomorrow, a few hours won’t make a difference!”

Oops! 😱

Cells are social creatures, and as with us humans, cell-cell-interactions and communication affect functionality and development.

Spatial proximity, the number of contacts, the concentration of particles released, all play a role in the functionality and the happiness-score 😉 of your cells.

Changes in cell density lead to immediate changes in the cell’s metabolism, such as glucose uptake, […]

🌟 Can you imagine having to use the back entrance of a university building, because the front entrance is not for you?

🌟 Can you imagine sitting in the auditorium with fellow students, knowing that you are not welcome?

🌟 Can you hold back your tears when your scientific curiosity is ridiculed?

International Day of Education 📚 – Urgently needed Changes? 🤔

Education is a human right.

We acquire knowledge, skills and values through learning. #Education allows us to develop #criticalthinking and #creativity. It empowers the individual and enriches society. Education breaks the cycle of #poverty and promotes #genderequality and #inclusion. 🤗

Why shouldn’t we support education in every possible way? Not only with financial resources, but also with an open mind to […]

The right answer is no. ❌

How can you be so rude, you may ask? 🤨

Are we mean? No, we just follow correct procedures in the cell culture lab, where sharing is not necessarily caring. ‼️

If one colleague in the cell culture lab asks another if they can “borrow” some of their reagents, media, or even cells, the answer should be no. You don’t have to be rude. You can fetch your colleague a fresh aliquot 🧪, but […]
