38 degrees in Würzburg – and still a great atmosphere!
Yesterday, the first women's lunch break took place at the Fraunhofer ISC – initiated by @unterlasslab.bsky.social

Prof. Unterlass herself broke the ice – and sponsored the ice cream.
It was great. And we'll be doing it more often!

More support. More visibility. More opportunities for young women scientists. And we’re just getting started.
 
Congrats to our colleagues Lisa Brändler and Mara Göttlinger, who received their TALENTA start certificates from Prof. Dr. Unterlass yesterday.

South Africa could become a key supplier of green hydrogen for Germany – but challenges remain. That’s where the #HySecunda project comes in. 🌍
We met at Fraunhofer IKTS in Dresden to shape #hydrogen solutions & discuss tech development.
Proud to be part of this project!

Great exchange at our advisory board meeting this week – fresh insights, strong collaboration, and strategic input for the road ahead.

Warm welcome to Dr. Nina Fechler (@evonik-de.bsky.social) as our newest member!

Go ahead, ladies!

On our way to the @fraunhoferisc.bsky.social site in #Bayreuth for high-temperature ceramics (HTL) with Sabrina Rota, our head for #culturalheritage

Kicking off our working session with the advisory board today and Prof. Dr. Miriam Unterlass (@unterlasslab.bsky.social‬) – well prepared and ready for meaningful exchange.
It’s all about ideas, strategies, and the future of materials research.

Let’s go!
