We send our sincerest sympathies to the family and friends of EMBL’s Interim Director General, Prof. Peer Bork.

Peer was a great supporter of Australian science and is being remembered as an exceptional scientist and person, a natural leader, and a generous mentor to many.
EMBL is deeply saddened by the passing of our Interim Director General Peer Bork, a pioneering scientist who left an indelible imprint on life science research in Europe and beyond.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

🔬 Huge thanks to @micro-au.bsky.social & Adelaide Microscopy for an incredible day at the #EMBLAPhD Course!

From volume EM & cryo-TEM, to AI-powered image analysis & spatial transcriptomics, students gained a valuable behind-the-scenes glimpse at cutting-edge imaging.

Today’s focus was all about #scicomm - and our PhD Course participants couldn’t have been in better hands with our trainers, Jodie Haigh & Dr Jonathan Berengut.

Students put all the tips into practice with 3MTs & a poster session. A day of skills that will last a career!
