FAUproud! Our two FAU-Anatomy doctoral students Katharina Gary and Jakob Kerres are SICCA laureates 2020 of the professional association of ophthalmologists in Germany and were awarded by the German Ophthalmological Society! Congratulations!

I am pleased to announce that next week Wednesday and Thursday the first Young Anatomists Coaching Symposium of the EFEM will be held digitally. It is open to anyone interested and is designed to encourage the next generation of anatomists and morphologists.

FAU is a Medical Research Centre in the EU project PlasticsFate, which deals with the effects of micro- and nanoplastics on ecosystems and humans.

I am so grateful for the Doctor honoris causa and thank all the responsibles at Grigore T. Popa University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Iasi, Romania for this incredible honor!

Like everywhere else in the world, today we are also celebrating WORLD ANATOMY DAY at our FAU under the motto "Teaching diversity in the dissection laboratory". An excellent education in anatomy is the basis for every medical and medicine-associated subject in the world.

Saturday was the last day of the current semester of our elective course "Anatomical basics of plastic and hand surgery" for some of our human medicine students at FAU in cooperation with the Erlangen Plastic Surgery Department. Our students were super enthusiastic.
