regina_nyckelharpistaSpent a beautiful weekend in Northern Germany at Nyckelharpawochenende Nord with Esbjörn Hazelius and Johan Hedin! I love how in the folk music world you can meet absolute legends, learn from them, have coffee in the sun and play together with them ☀️
These weekends are always a total love fest, a meeting of old and new friends, filled with nyckelharpa and music nerdery, inspiration and encouragement, jam sessions until well past midnight and in depth workshops with the most down to earth folk music legends you can imagine - join, if you can! 💓

Snoggy FrokelSaw #BillyBragg last night at Rock City (and he was amazing) and just bumped into him in 200 Degrees coffee.
We went over and spoke and he was lovely, generous and charming. #MeetYourHeroes #Solidarity

Lifting the cloche: Jeroen Bakkers interviews Didier Stainier
Didier Stainier is Director of the Department of Developmental Genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim, Germany. He became acquainted with the zebrafish model as a PhD student in Walter Gilbert's lab at Harvard, which motivated him to champion the use of this powerful model organism to study heart development as a postdoctoral fellow with Mark Fishman at Massachusetts General Hospital. Although his scientific focus has expanded significantly since then, zebrafish modelling and heart development and regeneration remain key topics in his research. The developmental biology and zebrafish modelling communities have embraced him as an inspiring mentor and advocate for basic research.Jeroen Bakkers is a group leader at the Hubrecht Institute for Developmental Biology and Stem Cell Research and Professor of Molecular Cardiogenetics at the University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands. Jeroen did hid PhD with Herman Spaink at Leiden University, The Netherlands. A short visit to Massachusetts Institute of Technology during his doctoral training introduced him to the zebrafish model, which he applied to his PhD project. Zebrafish development remained the focus of his career, including during his postdoctoral training in the lab of Matthias Hammerschmidt at the Max Planck Institute of Immunology and Epigenetics in Freiburg and in his own lab at the Hubrecht Institute, where his group uses this powerful model organism to investigate cardiac development, disease and regeneration.Jeroen and Didier met up at a recent conference to talk about their shared interest in cardiac regeneration, a zebrafish mutant with a curious name and Didier's commitment to mentorship.
