🎉 So happy to share that on February 1st I started a new chapter as a #GroupLeader at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz! @mpi_polymer

Thank you @TobiasSchnitzer and @pappas_babis 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! ✨

☀️ Back from three great days at the Harnack-Haus of the #MaxPlanckSociety in Berlin for the 3rd workshop of the “#SignUp! For #Leadership” program, just in time before the heat wave hit Germany.

Big congratulations to our PhD student Claudia Kammler for being awarded a doctoral #MPGC fellowship! 🎉✨

This is a fantastic achievement and very well deserved! 👏
