      <image:title>Outreach - Merging Science and Art</image:title>
      <image:caption>Science and Art are two sides of the same coin. We reach out to audiences that wouldn't typically show up to a science lecture. We particularly use paintings to false color microcopy images to explain to the public concepts inspired by nature. We aim to create an (online) gallery featuring bioinspired artwork.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Outreach - Botanic Garden at the University of Freiburg</image:title>
      <image:caption>We use the University of Freiburg’s Botanic Garden as an ideal entry point to instruct the general public about bioinspired materials and living materials systems. Questions like “Why is a nut so tough?” are of great interest to the public. This concept has proven successful in addressing a broad spectrum of groups ranging from families, high school and college students to teachers and decision makers from industry and politics.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Research - Chemically activated libraries</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our research investigates non-enzymatic peptide bond formation via aminoacyl phosphate esters. By studying these processes in abiotic conditions, we aim to mimic mechanisms relevant to prebiotic systems chemistry. We focus on how environmental factors influence oligomerization and self-assembly, shedding light on novel synthetic pathways. We aim to understand how phase behavior and dynamic systems can control peptide sequence selection and assembly.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Research - Complex Energy Landscapes</image:title>
      <image:caption>Inspired by biological systems like ATP and GTP, our research explores how amino acyl phosphates drive dynamic reaction networks with adaptive behavior. By training materials to respond to energy inputs and competitive pathways, we investigate how structural and recognition elements enable programmable functions in chemical systems. These systems navigate complex energy landscapes, altering their structure in real-time and offering insights into ‘‘structured fuels’’.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Research - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>We aim to unravel the mechanisms that allow dynamic re-phosphorylation to drive transient non-equilibrium states in peptide systems. This process facilitates reversible phosphorylation, controlling reaction networks that lead to the assembly and disassembly of abiotic materials. Through this approach, we gain insights into early biochemical processes while developing dynamic materials with potential applications in catalysis and soft peptide materials.</image:caption>
