27 h very well spent in #Cologne - gave a seminar talk at the #Biology department of #Uni#Köln, discussed #patternformation and data until brains were fried and got a wonderful city tour the next morning. Good people, good food, good spirit. Went home feeling so grateful, appreciated and inspired 😇🥰
Also leaving this here for the next time I don't feel so good about this whole science thing 🫠 feeling a sense of community within the work we do might really make the difference ✊️
Spent some time hanging out with some blue #damselflies at the lake before coming back home 😊
Damselflies have existed since the Late #Jurassic period & found on every continent except Antarctica. Presence of damselflies & the larger dragonflies, indicates a healthy #ecosystem.
BIOLOGY. The geometry and make-up of surface layers on (prokaryotic) cells. Interesting to think of the natural geometric patterning of proteins as layered system boundaries that are necessary for life.
The Bartgeier, also known as the Bearded Vulture or Lammergeier, is found in the Alps and other mountain ranges of southern Europe. It has an incredible 3m/9.8ft wingspan or 1.4 LeBron James. Photo taken at Alpenzoo in Innsbruck, Austria. Alpenzoo continues to house and breed Bartgeiers as part of an ongoing conservation effort. #birds#science#ecology#biology#photography#nature#wildlife
