Life exists only in water

This was probably my biggest epiphany when I started studying biochemistry. Later on, and in my current bubble of natural scientists it is fairly obvious to everyone, but back then it was a huge thing for me. The fact, that life as we know it only exists in water. If you’re not already bored or […]

We Are All Chemists!

Most chemists seem to think that they are quite decent cooks. If that is true or not is open for debate. In my experience, they do show a lot of confidence and creativity in the kitchen. I only came across one exception in the last years, but the night when A.R.B. tried to slice an […]

Molecules matter

One of my oldest memories is young me asking one of my parents what stuff is made of. Apparently I was always curious and a bit annoying. The answer was: “The four elements: water, fire, earth and air”. I was obviously not satisfied. Just look at a plant, or yourself and you can tell, there’s […]

The things we do with x-rays

This week it happened. I broke the first bone in my life. I even got three fractures at once, something called a zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture (those are several bones around your eye), caused by a stupid bike accident (wear a helmet kids, they save lives). And while I was lying there, in this pretty impressive […]

Another Science Blog?

This is an intro to my science Blog. An overture, if you will. Why would anyone still start a science Blog today? There are so many great popular science formats out there. Magazines, Podcasts, Youtube channels and of course Blogs. Don’t they cover everything already? And I am not even particularly well-trained as a writer. […]
