The KNAW has selected ten new members for ‘De Jonge Akademie’, one of which is AMOLF group leader Kristina Ganzinger (Physics of Cellular Interactions). Members of ‘De Jonge Akademie’ are researchers who are interested in the role science plays in society and who have finished their doctoral studies less than ten years ago.

As a member of ‘De Jonge Akademie’, Ganzinger wants to advocate a fair and inclusive scientific environment to bring out the best possible science, and also share her passion for open science. Ganzinger wants to use her extensive experience in interdisciplinary research to help researchers from different disciplines to connect with each other, but also use that knowledge to critically examine the challenges funding bodies face when making calls for and assessing interdisciplinary research projects.

The KNAW is the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in the Netherlands.

Atom-thin materials: handle with care… and cling film

As materials become thinner – now reaching a thickness of single atoms – it has become ever more difficult to create large enough sheets of these materials and transfer them without cracking them into tiny flakes. Recent work by a broad Amsterdam-based team of scientists, published in the journal ACS Nano, presents a new technique that solves this problem – using an unexpected material that can be found in any home kitchen.
