I went to Leipzig to discuss a new collaborative project with my old collaborators (Niculina Musat, Hryhoriy Stryhanyuk, Florin Musat and Hans Richnow) and our new collaborator from MPI Bremen, Prof. Friedrich Widdel. Lots of exciting science was discussed, and we’re ready to learn more about corrosion by methanogens, together.
On the 8th of December, I participated in the poster session of the Lecturer Training Program at SDU. I presented the poster attached, which discusses how students could use spaced-repetition to learn biochemistry concepts. Poster LTP Amelia 2
I went to a course held by Donna Hurfort at SDU on Questioning and it’s impact on learning and teaching. This course concludes my Lecturer Training Program training at SDU. Soon, I should be a certified University teacher – at least in the nordic countries where this certification is required. Here is a link to the course, if you’re interested to learn more
I visited A/Prof. Cornelia Welte, and Prof. Mike Jetten at Radboud University Nijmegen to establish a future collaboration with their labs. With this occasion I gave a talk about DIET and discussed the possible electron uptake mechanism in methanogens. Just a day after the KNVM Microbial Ecology meeting took place where I gave a speech about DIET in anaerobic microorganisms. The meeting although
Amelia and Paola went to ASM Microbe 2016 in Boston Massachusetts. Amelia gave a talk in the session “Microbial electric grids: electromicrobiology, fuel cells, nanowires and cable bacteria.”. The talk was entitled: “Methanogens hungry for electrons” and you can find the abstract here. Tweeps twitted during the talk, and even photos were snapped. After the conference Amelia also visited
