It has been a great ride in photobiology.
I spent a quite some time in the lab @plantphotobiology.bsky.social and I am grateful for the amazing time!
But the time is ripe for a next step: Soon I will be joining the Freiburg Research Services @uni-freiburg.de to contribute to science managment (1/3)

Complex flowcharts, that have been created with Word, are a special kind of hell even for minor editing.
Probably saves time just doing them from scratch....

How could a simple self-replicating system emerge at the origins of life? RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but existing ones are so large that their self-replication seems impossible. Could they be smaller?
Excited to share our latest work in @science.org on a new small polymerase.

A small polymerase ribozyme that can synthesize itself and its complementary strand
The emergence of a chemical system capable of self-replication and evolution is a critical event in the origin of life. RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but their large size and structural ...

The last one standing: A point mutation that suppresses the lazy quadruple mutant phenotype | Plantae
Gravity is perceived by amyloplast sedimentation in gravity-sensing cells, a process relying on the relocalization of LAZY proteins from the amyloplast to the plasma membrane.

Wie man den Staat ausnimmt und es Rechtsanwendung nennt. Anne Brorhilker dokumentiert in ihrem Buch "Cum/Ex, Milliarden und Moral" die juristischen Aufräumarbeiten rund um #Cum-Ex und den Versuch, die hinterzogenen Milliarden zurückzuholen. Tom Braegelmann hat es gelesen und für LTO rezensiert.
