As part of a visit of a governmental and industrial delegation from the Rhineland Palatinate to Scotland, we had the pleasure of introducing Ciona intestinalis sea squirts to Mr Clemens Hoch (the Minister for Science and Health), along with PD Dr Sigrid Rieuwerts (Commissioner for Scotland at Johannes-Gutenberg-University Mainz) and Dr Hendrik von Büren (Senior Director and Managing Director of Research and development AbbVie Deutschland GmbH & Co), whilst they toured the Scottish Oceans Institute.
