GASB meets ÖkoProg

Im Wissenschaftsjahr der Bioökonomie stellt sich Deutschland der Bundestagswahl. Passend dazu unsere Spezialausgabe am 10.06. ab 19 Uhr von GASB meets ÖkoProg! Gemeinsam mit jungen Politiker*innen und Euch diskutieren wir, wie es in Deutschland Biologisch in die Zukunft gehen könnte?

The Pioneer Fund supports promising projects at TU Darmstadt

Research projects at TU Darmstadt receive a total of 600,000 euros of funding each year from the joint “Pioneer Fund” programme from TU Darmstadt and the ENTEGA NATURpur Institute. Two future-oriented projects in the fields of medicine and energy technology are due to start soon.

PhD student of the Department of Biology describes Strumigenys ant species in Ecuador

With a length of only a few millimeters, the newly discovered ant species Strumigenys ayersthey is a small and inconspicuous inhabitant of the Ecuadorian rainforest. But a closer look quickly reveals that there is more to it: the ant belongs to the so-called snapping jaw ants, a group of ants that has unusually long jaws and can close them at extremely high speeds. The newly found species was described in the latest issue of the journal “Zookeys”. The species was named in honor of the recently deceased artist Jeremy Ayers.

A research group led by TU Darmstadt is looking for answers

Over the next four years, the DFG (German Research Foundation) is to finance a consortium that wants to know how nature renews itself. This is nothing less than the script for the natural regeneration of the rainforest and how this process can be strengthened from the outside.

Last Wednesday 17th March, the first Postdoc Symposium of the Department of Biology took place.

Last Wednesday 17th March, the first Postdoc Symposium of the Department of Biology took place (via Zoom) having a warm welcome and active participation of over sixty persons including undergraduate students, graduated students, postdocs, and professors.

A former student of our department, Ann Schirin Mirsanaye is currently doing her PhD in Copenhagen and is organising this interesting symposium

Do you often have the feeling that your attempts to live a more sustainable life end, as soon as you go to the lab? Do you also feel like a hypocrite by buying noodles in the “Unverpackt Laden” and to produce unbelievable amounts of plastic waste in the lab?

What are the PostDocs at the department researching?

PostDocs will answer this question for themselves in short presentations within the public part of our symposium from 2:45 to 4:45 p.m.. They will cover different biological aspects of our micro- and macroscopic world. Look forward with us to exciting presentations!
