Thank you @schnitzerlab.bsky.social and @pappasgroup.bsky.social for a great BioOrganic 2026 conference in Freiburg! It was cool to step out of the comfort zone and get immersed in the German (and beyond) organic chemistry community 🧪 Also a great occasion to catch up and meet new colleagues!

A great week at #Chirality2026 🌀 in Santiago de Compostela reminded me why this field never stops surprising me. 💭 I came home with more questions than answers, which is probably the best outcome a conference can offer! Grateful to be part of this community! ✨

Scientists at the MPI-P and global partners have developed a new type of air filter using a liquid coating to trap even nanoscale particles – just like mucus in the nose. 🌬️ The result: better air quality, less energy use, and a big step toward smarter filtration. 🌍 www.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/en/pm2025-19
