Not the first time I hear this advice :-)

The next round is currently ongoing, let’s see 🤞

In case we keep running into a wall, we’ll definitely feel encouraged to reach out now after your response, much appreciated 🙏

Thank you, that’s amazing! We are going for combination with 16x expansion in early zebrafish embryos. So far, the bigger hurdles still seem to be in the expansion process itself (we have very skilled support here already). The probe didn’t get a chance to fail yet, so to speak 😅

Testing in progress :-)

Yeah, some of the most exciting stuff I read recently!

Recently, Annika finished her bachelor thesis (via IAI / computer science) and Alica finished her student assistant position with us to transition to Diepold lab for a PhD at campus South. Soon, we can add our new postdoc recruit (once the contract is done) and new incoming MSc thesis students.

But in a first email, I also haven’t seen anything like what you got 😅

An applicant asked me a similar question in an interview yesterday, there it felt appropriate. I asked “what’s your goal with applying for this position?” Got a great answer, then “what would be your goal in hiring me? Why are you interested in my application?” I hope my answer was also good 😊

Is it primarily dry lab, and primarily focused on child health?

My condolences to all of Jochen’s family, students, and colleagues, indeed a great loss

This might explain a lot of emails I am getting. Using Mac Mail…
