Breathless microbes
It is only a couple of days since Mon has relocated to Netherlands (Radboud University) for her PhD environment exchange. In Netherlands, she is developing genetics in methanogens together with Assist. Prof. Cornelia Welte in the lab of Prof. Mike Jetten. Genetics in methanogens is a critical tool to broaden our understanding of electron transfer in methanogens...
Two new students are joining out lab
Jakob and Viktor have joined our SDU lab to work on different aspects of electrosynthesis to produce valuable chemicals from renewable biogas and renewable electricity. Jakob will do his bachelor thesis with Amelia’s supervision. His thesis deals with green bioplastic production and is incorporated within the framework of the project “Microbial Chemical Plants“. Viktor will...
6 months stay at UMASS Amherst
Amelia will relocate to the University of Massachusetts Amherst for a 6 months period. Her stay at UMASS is supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. During this time, Amelia will learn how to metabolically engineer Clostridium ljungdahlii. This stay is part of the project Microbial chemical plants....
Corrosion meeting in Leipzig
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....
Memrise and student learning
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...
