Opening European Polymer Congress 2025 in Groningen with over 1250 participants! @zernike-institute.bsky.social @rug.nl #katjaloos

Yesterday we celebrated the official opening of the Feringa Building 🎉 Thank you to everyone that joined us for the celebration and all those that made it happen! 💪 A small recap of the day 👇 www.rug.nl/news/2025/06...

Great news! Wouter Roos, Syuzanna Harutyunyan and Inga Kamp (FSE/@sciencenewsroom-ug.bsky.social) each receive an @erc.europa.eu Advanced grant of up to €2.5 million. Congratulations! 👏 Read more about the research the grants were awarded for 👇 www.rug.nl/news/2025/06...

A great day on Tuesday, finally celebrating our new Feringabuilding! A place to educate the new generation, of endless creativity, contributing to a sustainable, healthy future for all! @rug.nl @zernike-institute.bsky.social

Great Open House of our new Feringabuilding last week, showing many, many people around our new labs and "work-home"!

Tip! Visit the @unigroningen.bsky.social museum to check out the Brain Storm exhibition!

Coming back to Groningen after two days of policy discussions and a general assembly with our Initiative for Science in Europe member organisations, as a proud and energised (but also tired) president😊 These are difficult and uncertain times for many, including scientists.

Rachel Los schreef een anti-dankwoord in haar promotie. Over iedereen die haar heeft tegengewerkt. Via NRC:

Women’s rights do not advance on their own. They are won through persistence and can easily be lost without vigilance.

Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu · last yr.

Gender equality doesn’t just 'happen.' Women’s rights must be fought for and protected. Our responsibility is clear. To lead by example and create a world where opportunities are fair for all. Not just today, but every single day. #InternationalWomensDay

We are happy to announce our 2024-2025 Advancing Women in Biology (AWiB) Fund laureates: Marleen Aarts (@uva.nl) and Nynke Wemer (@unigroningen.bsky.social). Read more about the AWiB fund and how Marleen and Nynke are going to use their grants on our website: www.lnvh.nl/advancing-wo...

New from @profphilgale.bsky.social, @profmoniektromp.bsky.social and colleagues: 'Anion transport in biologically relevant lipid mixtures' #OpenAccess 🔓

Anion transport in biologically relevant lipid mixtures

A potent squaramide-based anion transporter was used to evaluate how vesicles prepared with tailored lipid compositions, which mimic organelle membranes, can impact transmembrane transport. Using…

UG Makers: Moniek Tromp built a tabletop version of a synchrotron to observe atoms on the inside! ⚛️ It allows Tromp to do most of the measurements within her own lab, instead of large scale facilities with limited availability 👇 www.rug.nl/news/2025/03... @sciencenewsroom-ug.bsky.social

James Fraser Stoddart obituary: chemist and nanotechnology pioneer who built molecular machines

An early love of construction toys led the Scottish chemist to thread molecules together, opening up a new field of chemistry.
