MPIPZ Researcher awarded science communication prize
Marc Somssich receives prize from the German Society for Plant Sciences.
Marc Somssich, postdoc in the Department of Plant-Microbe Interactions, receives the SciComm Award 2025 for his science communication efforts on social media.
Marc places scientific publications within a broader historical context, providing readers with a deeper understanding of their significance and impact over time. He is presenting the text in an excellent, compelling storytelling manner to engage with his audience.
The price was awarded during the 38th Conference Molecular Biology of Plants by the Plant Physiology and Molecular Biology Section of the German Society for Plant Sciences.
The Science Communication Award (SciComm Award) recognises scientists who, alongside their demanding roles in research and academic career development, have made exceptional contributions to the communication of plant science to a broader audience.
"I think that it's important to remember how we got to where we are today. This price shows that the scientific community apparently agrees, and appreciates the work and time invested."
