Institute retreat at Villa Hatt with a fantastic view over Lake Zürich - amazing that we still got quite some work done... 🌅🏔️
Conference breakfast with a view at #nacarb2024 / NCCR AntiResist in Ascona - looking forward to an amazing meeting! 🌅🧬🍷
Today the first year of my professorship at ETH Zürich ends - incredibly proud of what we have built up and achieved together! Four more years to find a new position before the current one expires... 🎂⏳🤔
Today would be the 100th birthday of Gunther Stent, a giant of phage biology (and other things). His memoirs "Nazis, Women, and molecular biology" is a must-read, not just for his story but also because his ambition + self-doubt ring deeply in all of us. tinyurl.com/yc78kcje
Great trip with the lab and our friends from Martin Loessner's group to the mountains above Oberalppass! 😁❄️☀️
If you are in Copenhagen, join us for a "Phage Phestival" tomorrow with talks by @linsalrob.bsky.social and myself at 10am in Festauditoriet / Bülowsvej 🧬🎇🇩🇰! We are both around for PhD defenses and Lone Brøndsted + Lars H Hansen brought us together for this nice event 😁.
One of those days to notice that we should have lunch at the roof cafeteria of ETH Zürich not only when we have visitors...
The "PIs of Tomorrow" competition of Life Sciences Switzerland in Lausanne - when I participated as a PostDoc it was the one day where I learned most about academic careers. Happy to return today as part of the jury! 🤗🙏🏼
It's a bit of a mess due to my scattered research history, but "Bartonella - FIC - persister - antibiotic - phage" describes the trajectory pretty well!
