⚠️ Mitochondria dump today ⚠️ Over the past month I’ve received some mito-related news. Since I haven’t shared them yet on Blue̶̶n̶̶a̶̶t̶̶i̶̶v̶̶e̶sky (#academicdadjoke), brace yourself for some mitochondria content today 🔜

We are currently recruiting a bioinformatics/computational biology postdoc to join the infrastructure project of a newly funded large research consortium (SFB-TRR) on Circadian Medicine between Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Universität zu Lübeck ⌚ ⏰ ⏱️ 🕰️ !

We did it! The very first Native Scientist workshop for Italian kids in Cologne was a success 🇮🇹 41 Italian-speaking children explored the wonders of science through hands-on experiments in their heritage language 🧑‍🔬
