Received the Poster Communication prize at the Biotechnology and Safety Programme Day Wrap-up meeting! A day full of interesting discussions on safety and risks of DNA engineering technologies hosted by ⁦NWO Domain Science (Inactive)⁩ and ⁦Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat⁩ Thank you!!

Latest preprint of the lab online, where we show that the formation of wall-deficiënt cells is widespread in mycobacteria, some of which are devastating pathogens. Importantly, these viable cells are undetectable by conventional diagnostics!

Amazing work by my colleage on the formation of cell-wall deficient cells in Mycobacteria! Hard work pays off!

Welcoming applications for a PhD position on the Microbial Ecology of Phototrophic Mixed Cultures in the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science @NTNUnorway @NTNUNaturalSci 🇳🇴. Apply by Dec. 20th. Thanks for RT's. timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/listin… #jobs

Excited to see this preprint from my colleages online (the amazing scientists @BergeijkDoris and Hannah Augustijn and many others) Diversity of actinobacteria isolated from Mammoth faeces! 🦣💩

‘Durf te twijfelen’ (‘dare to doubt’): A great message from the Gent University Museum to all scientists (.. I think)

Wetenschappers twitteren om hun werk te verspreiden en om op de hoogte te blijven. Blijven ze dat doen? Mooie opinie van ⁦Sjoerd de Jong⁩ ⁦NRC⁩. nrc.nl/nieuws/2023/01…

Honoured to receive the Kiem award at the KNVM SSM 2023 for my first publication: doi.org/10.1038/s41467… Also, a first to speak in front of so many people in the plenary session! 🥳 Huge thanks to everyone involved in the project! 💪🏻 KNVM The Claessen Lab Gilles van Wezel 💙💛

In a 2021 study, grad students reported that research activities, which were relatively unstructured and gave little opportunity for positive feedback, tended to worsen symptoms of depression—while teaching helped them cope. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth scim.ag/2BV

I feel honored to receive the first place poster prize at #NWOlife for a poster about my PhD project on bacterial regulation 🦠🧬 Huge thanks to everyone involved in the different projects and of course my supervisors Marnix Medema and Gilles van Wezel 💙💛

This article is so freaking spot on. The lack of support for women once they are no longer junior, the needing to appease male egos even when their behaviour is categorically shit, knowing that saying no leads to you looking rude. It IS exhausting. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Told to "relax," to appear more humble, or grateful. Called rude, irrational, and unprofessional. How senior women in science are treated differently to male colleagues go.nature.com/3JybG9S

Joined the GSA online meeting on accessibility in STEM; mainly focusing on lab environments. Many thanks for the valuable insights on how to make research labs/conferences/meetings more accessible and inclusive! 🙏

Excited for the fist day of NWO Insight Out: Connecting women in STEM event, today covering the highly important topic: Academic Mental Health😀 NWO Nieuws

So excited! Today I had the opportunity to talk about my PhD research.. for the Dutch radio! Many thanks to Karlijn Meinders for the great interview! Gilles van Wezel 💙💛 The Claessen Lab Leiden Science NWO Nieuws
