Plant molecular biologist (she/her).
It was a pleasure to have you in our IRTG Scientific Training Lecture Series! It was a treat and really entertaining.
Six months after leaving Academia, I am back giving a lecture on #PlantScience History as Guest Speaker of the @snp2prot.bsky.social Program @unihalle.bsky.social.
Thank you @carolindelker.bsky.social for inviting & hosting me.
It was a pleasure to talk about Arabidopsis History to the students. 🙂

I highly recommend the #MBP2026 #PlantScience Meeting in Hennef, especially if you're an ECR or #NewPI trying to connect to the German Plant Science Community.
It's interactive, fun and relaxed.
Unfortunately, I won't be there this year, but I'll be back in 2027 👍
