It was such a pleasure to have Hisashi Akiyama visit us, 20yrs after we first met in Heidelberg. From sharing insights from his research to talking with our young researchers over pizza lunch & exchanging thoughts about science & different scientific paths, it was a great day of scientific exchange.

Last Friday was a really interesting day with @lmu.de and @broffiziell.bsky.social , with inspiring discussions, different perspectives on science communication and the media, and practical hands-on workshops. Thank you #LMU and #BR for such a great day! #sciencecommunication

I really enjoyed participating in the 1st International Workshop on Biology of RNA Viruses last week!🦠 I had the chance to pitch my research to great people, followed by lively discussions. Thanks so much to @baldauflab.bsky.social and @systemsvirology.bsky.social for the wonderful organization!☀️

A workshop is measured not only by the science, but by the connections it creates. Three inspiring days, outstanding science, and many conversations. Thanks @systemsvirology.bsky.social and everyone who made the RNA Virus Biology Workshop at @lmu.de memorable. Looking forward to new collaborations.

Bringing scientists together is about more than sharing data. It’s about exchanging ideas, building collaborations & learning from different perspectives. Great to welcome 75 scientists from JPN, DEU, and FRA to @lmu.de for our first RNA Virus Biology Workshop with @systemsvirology.bsky.social (1/2)

Two milestones today: my 10th anniversary at @lmu.de and my recent appointment as Adjunct Professor. I am grateful to the colleagues, mentors, collaborators, students, friends, and family who have accompanied me over the past decade. Thank you for being there along the way.

Last week, the #VIIRAL lab was very active at the annual meeting of the @gesvirologie.bsky.social in Heidelberg. During the poster session, both @ako98.bsky.social and Alejandro had the chance to discuss their current work. And I am now an official #advisory #board member. #gfv2026

Between fond memories of where it all began and mixed feelings about being back in the lecture hall where I took many exams and spent many hours with anorganic chemistry, it was great to be part of #gfv2026 in #heidelberg this year. So fun to catch up with old friends and connect with new people!

Last week, @ako98.bsky.social gave her first poster presentation at the #Retropath meeting in Tübingen, where I also presented the excellent work of João Côrte-Real. @agschindler.bsky.social and @sauterlab.bsky.social did a fantastic job organizing the meeting. #ProudPI #Retroviruses
