Dabei hilft uns Dr. Wiebke Lüke. Sie ist Geschäftsführerin und Gründerin von WEW, die wichtige Bestandteile von Wasserelektrolysesystemen entwickelt und produziert. Gemeinsam werfen wir einen Blick auf die chemischen Grundlagen von H2, sowie auf seine wirtschaftliche und energiepolitische Bedeutung.<url href="http://podcast.jcf.io"><a href="https://podcast.jcf.io" target="_blank">podcast.jcf.io</a></url>

Bert Meijer erhält den Hermann-Staudinger-Preis 2022. Damit ehrt ihn die GDCh für seine herausragenden und kreativen Beiträge zur supramolekularen Polymerchemie. Er hat einige universelle Regeln für den supramolekularen Aufbau von Polymeren aufgestellt, die für die (Bio-)Materialwissenschaft von großer Bedeutung sind. Der Preis wird seit 1971 in geraden Jahren verliehen und umfasst 7500 Euro Preisgeld, eine Goldmedaille und eine Urkunde.<img alt="image" src="https://media.graphassets.com/FcnA6j3BRciWMjazgukr">My biggest privilege as scientist is to mentor and work together with young passionate students and postdocs to push the frontiers of science. The beauty of being a university professor lies in helping students and postdocs in their career, just as my PhD advisor helped me. There are many intelligent and ambitious young people, with all kinds of different backgrounds. As a teacher I can help them in this very important part of their career, into a direction that will change their life.The biggest surprise of my career as a researcher was that I realized that a fundamental study to investigate the options of supramolecular polymers became useful as biomaterials in the clinic.I studied chemistry because it was clear that I was a science person. But I would have loved to do medicine, but I can’t stand the sight of blood. Mathematics and physics were too abstract. And biology at that time was too much about looking at birds and trees. And so, in between, there was chemistry.Which is the secret of your biggest success as a researcher?Being prepared to encounter the unexpected and realize that it can be important.A talent I’d like to have is playing piano well. As a child I trained myself for years, but I never became extremely good in it and now it is a real struggle to play.This is the ideal morning for me:On a beautiful sunny winter morning, I put on my skates and made a beautiful trip across the Frisian waters. Unfortunately, unlike when I was young, it is far too rare as we are facing global warming; so chemists we need to solve this huge challenge.The best advice I ever got is:“Have trust in yourself” – from my PhD adviser Hans Wynberg when once again I doubted whether I was doing the right thing.If I could be another person for one day, I would like to be a very influential politician by trying to advocate the most important quote of Mahatma Gandhi: ‘The world has enough for everyone’s need, but not enough for everyone’s greed.’ This quote is my favourite one to keep in mind for saving the world for our grandchildren and their children in the decades to come.My best ideas arise while I’m discussing challenges within our group or friends and family.In a spare hour I would play with my 2-year-old granddaughter and afterwards drink a good glass of wine with my wife to celebrate the good life we have.If I could spend a day with the person behind my prize‘s eponym I would ask Herman Staudinger how he – so contrary to existing thinking – postulated the idea of macromolecules and how he has withstood the fierce criticism of many colleagues.Egbert Willem Meijer, Jahrgang 1955, lehrt und forscht in Holland. Mit seiner Gruppe arbeitet er unter anderem an Design, Synthese, Charakterisierung und Anwendungen neuer supramolekularer Systeme.
