A unique gift from Vilnius University to Sorbonne: Prof. @drach_temam received a 3D-printed model of the Sorbonne Chapel – the size of a human hair and invisible to the naked eye. Created by Dr @GordonZyla at VU’s Laser Research Centre.

Using the microscopic structures on the wings of the Morpho butterfly, @UCSanDiego researchers developed a simple, inexpensive way to analyze biopsy samples that could make cancer diagnosis faster, more accurate & more accessible worldwide. @LPoulikakos today.ucsd.edu/story/butterf…

ON REPEAT

7 Days Until Tomorrow … hurry the fuck up please. it’s getting restless out here…

Postdocs do a lot of invisible labor in academia. The majority of which is helping PhD students. Many of us are happy to do it, but when students fail to acknowledge that help, especially in front of the PI, it kinda kills the vibe. Give people credit for their work.

Thrilled to announce the 5 brilliant #researchers who won the annual Vilnius University #Foundation competition! Four are funded by the VU Endowment Fund, and one by the Marius Jakulis Jason Foundation. ✨ All the talented researchers who won the competition were presented at the launch of the new academic year: Dr Ieva Bisigirskaitė (VU Faculty of Philology), Dr Eric Banan-Mwine Daliri (VU Life Sciences Center), Dr Laurynas Dagys, Dr Dimitra Ladika and Dr Gordon Zyla (VU Faculty of Physics). 👏 Discover more: bit.ly/4cREy8M

Very happy and proud of this achievement!

Danke Deutschland 🖤❤️💛
