#Postdoc_Crisis
It has become increasingly difficult to recruit postdocs according to a recent science study:
It’s therefore great that Princeton university has taken the lead here by offering a sustainable salary to their postdocs.
We are trying hard to make our earth greener and healthier via disruptive technologies. I am therefore pleased to welcome

My favorite season is gone and replaced by “kong vinter” 🥲
It’s cold as ice out there 🥶
But a smile and a warm heart can get us a long way; and surely help us survive another big freeze.
Check out this new collaborative paper with the Nikkhah Lab from University of Arizona. It’s published in Acta Biomaterialia and reviews the recent trends in electroconductive biomaterials for cardiac tissue engineering.

The race to get as many publications on record is ruining science. In my opinion this is a soulless process related to some silly metrics. It has nothing to do with advancing science. As far as I remember Higgs published less than 10 papers.
You cannot race science

In a decent society there should be freedom of speech, and freedom to wear whatever makes you comfortable. If you like wearing hijab fine with me. If not that is fine with me as well. But please don’t force people to be like you.

Let’s praise the many advances in medicine.Take for instance insulin - it was patented against diabetes in 1922, and until 1978 it’s extraction relied solely on pancreas from dead animals. Today it’s production rely entirely on synthetic biology and recombinant bacteria’s.
I was not a major contributing factor here - but I learned a lot from this collaborative work and have highest regards for

When scientists publish their work they give over all the rights - including rights to IP, figures and artwork.
Some journals even demand a publication fee.
In any other profession it would be called out as daylight robbery.
But not in academia 😔
We have a new opening on a collaborative PhD project. The deadline is in two weeks, so hurry up, if you want to work with exciting biomaterials among inspiring peers.
