Over the past months, many PhDs, postdocs, and PIs from Building a Synthetic Cell (BaSyC) consortium have contributed to a podcast series about our efforts to build a synthetic cell. The Rathenau Instituut, in collaboration with designer Mies Loogman, created this 4-episode podcast series that is called ‘Herschept’ (In Dutch), and the final episode is out now! Ludo Schoenmakers is one of the PhDs from our group that contributed to this podcast series.
More information can be found here.
You can listen to all 4 episodes on Spotify.
We are always looking for talented postdoctoral researchers and PhD candidates who are interested in origins of life, synthetic cells, coacervates, physical biology and multi-omics analysis methods in general, who like to work in an interdisciplinary cutting-edge environment. If you are interested in joining, please contact us directly to explore fellowship opportunities (please include a CV, and two academic references).
