Biologist secures 1 million for study about flower patterns |
| Why do some flowers bloom in bold stripes, while others display dots or rings? UU biologist Jason Gardiner has received a €1 million grant to uncover the molecular logic behind petal pigmentation. The aim is to build fundamental knowledge with real-world applications. This may help breeders create more stable flowers, fruits, and vegetables. The grant is awarded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO). Jason leads the project together with biologists Francesca Quattrocchio and Ronald Koes from the University of Amsterdam. |

Turning waste into energy and building at the nanoscale |
| For Krijn de Jong, Emeritus Professor of Inorganic Chemistry & Catalysis at UU, Isaac Asimov’s Fantastic Voyage was more than just entertainment, it was an inspiration. “In a way, I’ve actually become a kind of builder at the nanoscale.” In the book, a group of leading scientists board a microscopic submarine. They navigate through the veins of a brilliant researcher to reach his brain. When Asimov wrote this in 1965, it was pure science fiction. Today, a world at the nanoscale doesn’t seem so far-fetched. |
