Of course we are biased, but we really like Mäin Element. So interesting to discover the variety of personalities that do research, each with an own story, an own path. This time @meiserlab.bsky.social, FNR ATTRACT Fellow & @erc.europa.eu grantee. (in German) mainelement.podigee.io/29-johannes-...

At the 2024 Researcher’s Days, a group at the LCSB of @uni.lu, hosted an interactive workshop on rare diseases. 100s of visitors of all ages could decrypt the genetic code, experiment with enzymes, and explore how rare diseases are studied. More about the research 👇 www.uni.lu/lcsb-en/news...

Spotlight on Young Researchers: Monitoring terrestrial ecosystems effectively and efficiently is crucial for understanding how they respond to stress and for addressing climate change. This helps guide policy decisions and environmental management. www.fnr.lu/research-wit...

Industry, agriculture and waste disposal all cause soil pollution, a threat to both ecosystems and human health. Environmental scientists and engineers are collaborating with regulatory bodies to develop policies promoting sustainable land use. www.fnr.lu/research-wit... #environment #health

New Episode of “Mäin Element” podcast is out! This week with Alex Skupin. If he hadn’t become a scientist, he would have had the option to become a rock star. He tells us how it came to this and what would happen if we used 100 percent of our brain. open.spotify.com/episode/5OZV...

Emmanuel Defay has led a range of projects revolving around smart materials and electrocaloric cooling technology, important research that addresses pressing environmental challenges. www.fnr.lu/research-wit... #smartmaterials #energy #challenges #FNRLux @ercresearch.bsky.social
