Captivated by Kepler’s spirit in Linz

2024-07-10|Categories: Blog|

We recently visited the house of Johannes Kepler in the Austrian city of Linz. He had lived here from 1612 -1627 and produced a monumental piece of work called “The Rudolphine Tables” 📖.

Now why is Johannes Kepler, the German astronomer, physicist and astrologer (!) of the 17th century, considered by most scholars to be the first modern scientist in history? ☀🌗🌍🌠

Kepler lived at a time when the 30 Years’ War was ravaging Europe, witch hunting […]

What is it like to live in the most liveable city of the world?

Do you ever get used to well-maintained beautiful architecture 🏰, comfortable and highly functional public transport 🚇, safe and stable surroundings 🌃, free health care system 👩‍⚕️, and above all, high-level #education institutions 🏛?

Do you still notice the birds 🐥 and the parks with old trees 🌳🌳🌳?

Do you still smell the subtle fragrance of lime blossoms 🌸🌸🌸 in spring?

Do you still notice the dry humour beneath a grumpy surface? 😁

Well, even after living in #Vienna for decades, yes, you still notice. 👌😊

Has Vienna always been like this? 👀

No, it continuously improved over the years. 📈

Is it […]

What type of scientist are you, the spontaneous genius or a petty planner?

2024-06-05|Categories: Blog|

The connotation of the ingenious scientist is dishevelled hair, messy behaviour and overall, an absent-minded demeanour 😵. Surprisingly, this image even exists among people working in research facilities. And in reverse, if you are a well-structured and organized person 📋🖋, you might give the impression that you didn’t quite make it 😔. You cannot be a genius and a well-structured planner at the same time, can you? ⁉

Ouch. Seriously. This hurts. 💥

Unfortunately (and luckily), science and research are not done with an ingenious scientific idea. You also need a hypothesis, and then you need an educated […]

Happy Birthday Indian Institute of Science! 🎂🌹🎇

2024-05-27|Categories: Blog|

Inspired by Swami Vivekananda 🙏 on the ship 🚢 to Chicago (1892), Jamsetji N. Tata decided to found a research institution 🏛, which was officially established on 27th May 1909.

Today, 115 years later, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) represents a unique combination of science and engineering and, among others, translational medicine. ✨✨✨

It is a humbling experience for any researcher to visit the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru as we did during a business delegation organized by Advantage Austria New Delhi in February 2024! 🇦🇹 🇮🇳

In my opinion …

2024-05-22|Categories: Blog|

In my opinion… ☝️

☝️ In my opinion, outdoor shoes do not contribute to contaminations in the cell culture lab. 😮

☝️ In my opinion, a sterile workbench can be set up anywhere, the inside of the hood is sterile, anyway. 😮

☝️ In my opinion, wearing lab coats is overrated. 😮

No.

Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way when it comes to laboratory standards and scientific conduct. We have heard so many opinions on standard procedures that we do not want to deal with them anymore. What is our problem with opinions? 🤔
Inserting an “in my opinion …” before […]
