A new method to make lignin, a renewable material, more profitable. Lignin is a natural polymer that gives plants their strength and rigidity. It is also a byproduct of the paper and biofuel industries but has low value and limited applications. Researchers from Finland have developed a new method to convert lignin into high-value chemicals, such as vanillin and phenol. phys.org/news/2023-07-lignin-m

. I am a plant developmental geneticist. The lab addresses a fundamental biological question: how does morphogenesis translate genotype into form? To this end we study signaling at the plasma membrane - cell wall interface and we investigate how mechanical forces influence tissue shape using 3D digital ovules.

Have you ever wondered what a protest camp against a lignin mine looks like in Germany and how the activists build structures to make it difficult to just go on with a business that sets free massive amount of carbon dioxide? Here I present a virtual walkthrough I programmed about the protest camp and tree-houses at the 'Hambacher Forst'

Finally online: 'The virtual Hambi'
virtual-hambi.de

Due to reasons it wasn't published until today. But now you can visit the Hambi and it's architecture dedicated to protest and alternative life.
Memories (written text), audio, video and photos are welcome to enrich the virtual Hambi with meaning.
