- ✨ Impressions from our “Storytelling & Science” Workshop! ✨ On Jan 23, EBM members had the pleasure of attending a special workshop with Renaud Pourpre (The Lonely Pipette), who joined us all the way from Oxford.
- Over three hours, participants learned how to make science informative, engaging, and memorable. • Vonnegut’s Shapes of Stories — mapping the rise and fall of fortune to design compelling narratives. • Chekhov’s Gun — ensuring every detail introduced plays a meaningful role later in the story.
- Attendees even created their own short scientific stories, sparking curiosity and discussion in a fun, hands-on way. The workshop was inspiring, highly engaging, and full of ideas for communicating science effectively! Images by: Andrea Dakkouri-Baldauf
- Cellular differentiation in brain tissue-mimicking matrices: C04 aims at using cell types with the same embryonic origin but distinct differentiation than brain cells, melanocytes and melanoma cells, to analyze the role of mechanics on cellular differentiation and de-differentiation.
- In cooperation with project X03, we investigated their cellular behavior in different matrices.
