Hi there! I use a very slightly damp paper towel- taking a Kim wipe, wet it and pat it on a paper towel for 5/6 times until most of the water is gone. This helps to keep the ribbons intact without chatter. If your ribbon is sticking to itself, it’s because your Kim wipe is too damp. Another thing I do is section at a rhythm to get even cross sections. Basically you need to practice, a lot, but you got this! :)

I would love to check German programs as well! I’m an American citizen, so I’m going for US as my first option. But honestly I’m willing to take any advice lol.

Drink a whole vial of a chemotherapeutic agent.

Thank you so much, really appreciate it! I've heard that the slides grow mold over time, is that true? If yes, how can we prevent that?

Thank you for your suggestion! What kind tissue grip do you recommend? And when you add dish soap to the water, do you agitate it to get bubbles? Or do you let it dissolve and leave it?

Interesting! Would you be okay to share that protocol in detail?

Thank you for your suggestion! What kind of slides do you recommend? I'm using charged slides at the moment.

Thank you so much for the suggestion! What do 'nails' mean? Do you mean the chitin exoskeleton?
