We congratulate Rodrigo Martinez-Abarca, Mauricio Bonilla Flores and Sonja Rigterink on the successful defence of their dissertations.
We wish them all the best and every success in their future endeavours.
On 21 June 2025, TU Braunschweig opened its laboratories and facilities to the public as part of CampusXperience. Under the motto "From the lab to the world - come on an expedition with us!", we presented our equipment for field work in remote locations and provided insights into microscopy. Visitors of all ages were able to view freshly collected plankton samples under the microscope and learn more about ostracods, which we use as bioindicators, among other things. Our stand was well attended: Numerous interested people took the opportunity to get a taste of laboratory air and exchange views on current research topics. We would like to thank all participants and guests for their interest and the pleasant discussions.
