Dr. Victoria Grinberg<p>I&#39;m thinking about what to do with this place and how to use it productively. And the best, most useful thing I get out of it is the happiness of shared books and recipes and the chance to meet new great people.</p><p>So what I will try is to make it a happy and productive space for us for the next months. I will not always succeed but we need it.</p>

Forschungszentrum Jülich<p>Buchweizen war mal ein Grundnahrungsmittel in DE, bevor es von ertragreicheren Getreidesorten verdrängt wurde. Ein Forschungsteam am FZJ will dem Buchweizen zu einem Comeback verhelfen. Trotz seiner nahrhaften Körner – die übrigens glutenfrei sind – wird Buchweizen hierzulande fast ausschließlich zur Gründünung angebaut. Ziel ist eine ganzheitliche Nutzung der Pflanze. Wie das funktionieren soll, erklärt Dr. Laura Junker-Frohn, Koordinatorin des Projekts, im Interview: ▶️ <a href="https://www.fz-juelich.de/de/aktuelles/news/pressemitteilungen/2025/ein-comeback-fuer-den-buchweizen-eine-nutzpflanze-mit-potenzial" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">fz-juelich.de/de/aktuelles/new</span><span class="invisible">s/pressemitteilungen/2025/ein-comeback-fuer-den-buchweizen-eine-nutzpflanze-mit-potenzial</span></a></p>
François, suricate nihiliste<p>Who would have thought ? When you don't have the time or the mental space for research, you don't get results. The moment you are able to spend time concentrating on research, you start to make progress and get some results. Incredible !
