We had a great #TuesdayTalk at our Faculty of Science this week by Sebastiaan Haffert. He talked about the various technological and scientific challenges of building extremely large telescopes that allow them to look for exoplanets and hopefully find proof for extraterrestrial life.

Great speech by the new president of Leiden University, Luc Sels, at the New Year's reception of our Faculty of Science. He gave great insights into his vision for the future of our university including excellent fundamental science, collaboration, internationalization and societal impact.
Very interesting Tuesday Talk by Meindert Lamers at the New Year's reception of our Faculty of Science. He talked about the power of different electron microscopy techniques to visualize biological samples on length scales from tissues to individual molecules. https://www.nature.com/articles/s44386-025-00008-3
Our dean Jasper Knoester addresses our Science Faculty in his New Year's speech. Interesting insights into the future strategic goals of our faculty and great to hear him highlight the priority themes including the @LED3hub with new theme leader Mario van der Stelt.

New antibiotic for Clostridioides difficile infections: The groups of Nathaniel Martin of our @LED3hub and of Wiep Klaas Smits of the LUMC published the powerful semisynthetic guanidino lipoglycopeptide EVG7 to treat Clostridioides difficile infections. While I saved #antibiotic discovery for last, there is surely still a high need for new antibiotics, may they be natural products, semisynthetic derivatives or fully synthetic compounds. (11/12)
