The work of the Lab of Ralf Baumeister was recently the topic in two different articles in local newspapers:

First, Kathrin Ermert from Netzwerk Südbaden looked into the century old question of why organisms age. She visited the laboratory for this purpose and had a conversation with Ralf Baumeister. The article can be downloaded from our Homepage. We thank Netzwerk Südbaden allowing us to do so.

Second, Badische Zeitung reported about a recent work of Wenjing Qi and other people from our faculty on heat adaptation of organisms. The article can be found here.

They are referring to an original announcement from the university, which can be found at the following link.
