Now with its own online store, products are easier to browse & fast payment options are available. Uli Lutz continues to design and build new stuff, too! Check it out and discover 8 reasons to choose his tools: custom-lab.de
And so the lab work marathon-turned-sprint finally comes to a close. Final 8 samples for RNA extraction for my PhD work. Together with a recently finished qPCR project 😅😮💨 #PhDlife #labwork
There is a setting for fixing that in Outlook. Just Google it☺️ That being said, I fixed mine a couple of months ago but oh hey, it reverted back to removing them from my inbox recently. So…good luck? 😅
Snow-covered tour in the forest and still finding some fungi & slime moulds. These little guys were growing on some matter that lay in a waterfall against a moss-covered rock #fungi #norway #norskskog
Tricky words to sort through when speaking the English language:
collaborate vs corroborate vs correlate
Urgh 😅
Btw I’m first language English speaker and I trip over these words allllll the time!
We! fixed! acid! rain! And we can fix climate change 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...
I approached a box at work today & jumped back when I saw movement…after re-approaching I discovered bumblebees! They are greenhouse pollinators but some are also destined for dissection for classes. Spot the Queen! 👑
I saw it in the wild 🤩 although this pic is purely for aesthetic coz we didn’t find her there…we kind of planted her in this moss ourselves
Bird’s nest fungi presenting as dark brown cup-shaped containing 5 peridioles, nestled in green moss.
I remember the first time I learned about Bird’s Nest Fungi in a lecture. What I found most fascinating was the spore dispersal mechanism - relying on the splash of raindrops to spread their babies 💦👼🏼 flying babies!
Our university offers 1 hour free training every Wednesday at the Uni gym for all employees. You can choose between instructor-led classes or just going it on your own. I love that it’s an offer for us. Oh and… it’s considered part of working hours 💁🏻♀️
Empty qPCR reaction plate next to cooling block holding 2 strips of PCR tubes.
Potentially the last qPCR plate of my PhD? Maybe… Hopefully…
lol. Probably not! 😅
Strongly recommend to eat while on the phone, thus being sufficiently distracted from the slightly squishy bits but still convincing yourself that you are minimising food waste & enjoying sweet strawberry aromas 😉
Some Porcelain Mushrooms (Oudemansiella mucida) to light up our Sunday forest walk
Introducing myself here too 👋 I am a PhD candidate at the Norwegian Uni of Life Sciences (NMBU). I investigate molecular aspects of plant fungal pathogens, like grey mould on strawberries 🍓
At least my mum knows which fungus & host I study in my PhD! Win!

Ended off our week on such a high note at Institute of Plant Science at NMBU. We spent the last 2 hours of the work day in a brainstorming sesh, only for ECRs. Some hard truths were aired but so too were some exciting & surprising thoughts & goals.
Light is such a tricky variable to work with. Always measure your light, even when you assume it’s the same, it might not be!
