This evening we visited the suburb of Vauban in Freiburg to see the many examples of sustainable living. We were so impressed at how the apartment blocks were interspersed with green areas, play areas for children and and the energy efficient approach to living in general. Auckland could learn a lot from how to accommodate more people in a limited space yet make it highly liveable for families and in an energy efficient way. Next time we are in Freiburg we will stay at the Green Hotel.
Earlier today I caught up with Stephan Seiler and Kimberly Green, a PhD student in my lab, at Albert Ludwigs University. Kimberly has been working for 3 months in Stephan's lab supported by a DAAD fellowship. A great discussion on MAP kinases, signalling and the many connections that still need to be established to fully understand chemotropic sensing in fungi.
