Ms. Hodl wrote that after her 60th birthday she would begin a new chapter and now wants to write books. In 1990/91, she worked as a young biotechnologist in a laboratory in Heidelberg on the fermentation and purification of recombinant hirudin, which was produced with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 36 years later, she is researching the history of those technologies in a scientific library in Heidelberg, which she once worked on herself. She wants to write about molecular biology, the history of biotechnology, research, patents, companies, and the people behind them. In doing so, she brings scientific curiosity, a critical perspective, and her own laboratory experience to the table, she explained. #Biotechnologie #Wissenschaft #Lebensgeschichte (translated)

The truth about the Holocaust is non-negotiable. Against historical revisionism and anti-Semitic hatred, false compromises do not help, but rather facts, education, and a clear stance. Science has a special responsibility in this regard.

Against historical revisionism and anti-Semitic hatred, false compromises do not help, but rather facts, education, and a clear stance.

FrauHodl wrote that the district administration Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis replied to her on October 15, 2026, regarding a request under the State Transparency Act for COVID-19 communication between the health department and the city of Speyer from 2020 to 2023, stating that no documents were available anymore. According to her, the authority cited reasons such as a cyberattack in October 2022, deletion periods for personal infection protection data, and the fact that former Corona scouts were no longer employed. FrauHodl emphasized that she had not requested any personal patient data, but rather official communication, scientific statements, protocols, decision papers, and information on medical consultants. At the same time, the administration stated that the Corona task force of the city of Speyer had worked independently and had its own health consultant. FrauHodl asked who this consultant was, who appointed him, and what recommendations and documents there had been. According to FrauHodl, the authority also stated that contact with virologist Prof. Dr. Isabella Eckerle, who is from Speyer, had "as far as can be traced" not occurred. She demanded information about which files were deleted, when, by whom, and on what legal basis, and which stocks had been searched. The response was not a satisfactory resolution for her and raised further questions about the authority's documentation and accountability. #Speyer #CoronaAufarbeitung #LTranspG #Transparenz #RheinPfalzKreis #CoronaAufarbeitung #Transparenz #RheinPfalzKreis (translated)
