Publication
The new textbook "Metazoa - Morphologie und Evolution der vielzelligen Tiere" by Prof. Achim Paululat and apl. Prof. Günter Purschke helps students in zoological dissection courses to recognize important anatomical structures. What distinguishes this manual from other textbooks in practical use? Master student Caici Neerincx contributed to the drafting of this manual and demonstrates it to you in its first major practical application.

Events
Taster lectures on a wide variety of biology topics, games and experiments at hands-on stations, and tours of the CellNanOs research building! Just like last year, pupils had a lot of fun at our Night of Biology. Microscoping, loading a protein gel, examining fruit flies, and marveling at the university's most expensive microscope from below - there was all this and much more to experience during Biology Night!

Excursion to the Gülper Lake and the Havelland Luch
Once again this year, Osnabrück biology students explored the wildlife at 'Gülper See' (Gülpe Lake). The starting point for all daily observation tours was the Ecological Station of the University of Potsdam in Gülpe.

Research
Spiny mice possess an extraordinary ability for mammals: they can repair injured tissue without forming scars. A joint study by researchers led by Prof. Kerstin Bartscherer (AG Animal Physiology) and Prof. Ashley Seifert (University of Kentucky) provides new insights into the molecular basis of this phenomenon - which could one day prove valuable for the treatment of human diseases.

Masters symposium
Scientific research is one thing, showing the research results to a larger audience in an interesting and understandable way is another. In the master symposium, our master students practice designing a scientific poster and presenting it in an internal poster session. How do I design such a poster and what is important in the talk? And which of our master students has created the best poster?

Science Slam
Anyone who has ever attended a science slam event knows what it's all about: presenting scientific research and content to a broad and non-specialist audience in a way that everyone can understand and with a touch of humor. Previously, PhD students from the Osnabrück University had the opportunity to try their best: At an event organized by PhD InterConnect, Shiksha Ajmera, a PhD student in the Department of Ecology, did just that and won over the audience with her talk.

Digital field trip
The big excursion to Costa Rica has been a well-established and popular event in our department for many years. Every two years, the excursion participants travel with our botany professor Klaus Mummenhoff to the South American country, which, despite its manageable size, boasts an incredible diversity of ecological life zones. Now apl. Prof. Mummenhoff, Felix Przesdzink and Sebastian Holt have tried to make this unique excursion experience digitally accessible and traveled to Costa Rica with elaborate film equipment. Find here the pictures and the report of the adventure!

Awards
Every year, the Biology department internally awards a prize to the best master's thesis of the year. In 2022, we can congratulate Julia Seimert and Melanie Trupp, because their theses particularly convinced the jury! Here you can find out what the two former Master's students worked on and what fascinated them most about this challenge.

Events
With hands-on stations, information events and an exclusive guided tour through the CellNanOs research building, there was a lot to discover at the University Information Day 2022 in the Department of Biology at the Westerberg - get a look at some pictures here!

Since 2016, Florian Fröhlich and his research group "Molecular Membrane Biology" have been at home in our department and have been combining biological questions with state-of-the-art technology ever since. The broad field of mass spectrometry as well as novel applications in lipdomics/proteomics are his passion. Now he is entitled to bear the title of professor and holds the new professorship "Bioanalytical Chemistry". Find out what that means and how it feels to call oneself a professor!

Would I enjoy studying biology? At the first "Night of the Bio-LKs (biology classes)" on June 30th, school students had the opportunity to get a little closer to the answer to this question. From gripping lectures from everyday research, exciting hands-on stations and amazing insights in personal conversations, find more about this recent event at our department here!
