Whooaaa
My zombie cells and I received the Bremer Studienpreis for my PhD 🤩🤩🤩🧟‍♂️

I received a special price sponsored by @brukercorporation.bsky.social Daltonics, who produce mainly mass specs. It was quite a surprise, considering I didn’t use mass spectrometry in my PhD. Why did they choose me? 🧵

Had the great pleasure introducing Zombie cells 🧟♂️ and my start up thalassys.com during a visit at @geomarkiel.bsky.social today. Intense meetings, interesting feedback and always good to catch up! Thanks @utehentschel.bsky.social for inviting me!

How many SAR11 cells are phage-infected in the environment? And what are zombies?

We studied phage infection in SAR11 using the 🔬. Up to 19% of SAR11 cells were phage infected and many host cells were devoid of ribosomes!

What else did we find? A🧵

I handed in my PhD thesis today 🥳
What a great, yet weird feeling.
