What a unique experience to lecture at #SeniorenUni @unibas.ch today – freely translated title:
Molecules in gallop – getting 'personal' with the molecules of life.
We filled the big aula 2x with 55+ers up to >80y-olds plus 100more online! All of them so genuinely curious! Truly touching! 🤝...

Travelling back from #Paris 🚄, where #EllynRedheuil defended her PhD at @espciparispsl.bsky.social. Inspired by our #DyeCycling approach, Ellyn did impressive pioneer's work on single-biomarker detection using @quantum-si.bsky.social's protein sequencing platform!

Early rise for me today (3:45 😱) to get in time to our #Nanopore consortium meeting with #GiovanniMaglia & @ceesdekker.bsky.social groups at Amsterdam airport.
So curious about their newest results! 🤩
We approached in style: ✈️ flying over Dutch (modern) windmills... Beautiful – even for train fans.

What a special experience #EURO2025 #FRAGER:
#Basel full of French & German ⚽ fans both claiming a 'home game' at the border triangle... All super passionate, yet a friendly atmosphere!👍
Also, well deserved AK Berger: player of the match!
110min numerical superiority by 🇫🇷 – how can they STILL lose?
