Membranes have two leaflets!

But...🤔

Is there a difference in dynamics between inner and outer SLB leaflet?
What is the influence of the support on SLB structure?

Get some answers by GIET-lsFLCS. Incredible effort by @tao-chen.bsky.social @nkaredla.bsky.social @joergenderlein.bsky.social

What Would a Dream Research Institute Look Like?

Key point: Small, focused teams (around 15 members) boost efficiency, foster better mentorship, and encourage collaboration. Keeping teams lean ensures senior researchers stay actively involved in science rather than being bogged down by admin work.
