Lead the next discovery at the LMB. We’re recruiting Group Leaders to join our Structural Studies and @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social Divisions. Benefit from long-term support, access to outstanding core-facilities and a collaborative environment where science thrives. ➡️ mrclmb.ac.uk/research-lea...

The transition to setting up one's own lab is a steep learning curve. From 21–23 October, EMBO is hosting a workshop for group leaders in #Singapore to help them navigate this transition: https://meetings.embo.org/event/starting-your-own-lab-2 🧪 Leadership Sculptor GmbH #career #SoftSkills #training

Our Dept. of Genetics and Developmental Biology at the Institut Curie in the heart of Paris is hiring a new junior PI. It has a nice start up package and excellent I. Curie facilities. Please spread the word: Deadline Dec. 18th! jpi-recruitment-curie-umr3215-u934.curie.fr

I think we should all appreciate also the small failures in life…

Aus altem Speiseöl macht eine Hamburger Raffinerie künftig 220.000 Tonnen Diesel und Flugkraftstoff im Jahr. Dafür wird sie größter Kunde des Wasserstoffnetzes der Stadt, das ab Herbst 2027 läuft – erst mit fossilem, dann mit grünem Wasserstoff. www.ingenieur.de/220-000-t-s...

Es ist ein Albtraum. Wir können uns nicht in Ansätzen ausmalen, welche Zerstörung & Verzweiflung diese Zahl in der Realität heißen wird. Überall auf der Welt, denn es gibt keinen Ort, der davor "sicher" ist. Das Wichtigste am Bericht: Ob 1,7°C oder 2,8°C liegt in unseren Händen. Hell is a spectrum.

That would of course be mildly annoying.

Defätistischer Unsinn. Wählen hat selten so viel bewirkt wie heute. Was ist die Alternative?

Our latest paper is out in @embojournal.org! Chromatin compaction is a hallmark of apoptosis, but the mechanism & function of this process was unclear. We show apoptotic compaction is required to prevent fragmented DNA from spreading beyond the dying cell, and is driven by histone deacetylation.

Off to Paris for science discussions, bought tickets with Wero, european alternative to Paypal. Worked phantastically.

Very cool work led by Matthias Broser from @humboldtuni.bsky.social Institute of Biology. Neorhodopsin has a bright future! Congrats to all!

„Neues Arbeitspapier: Die norwegische Vermögenssteuer war ein großer Erfolg. Der „Exodus“ vermögender Personen blieb aus (weniger als 100 Personen sind weggezogen). Die Steuereinnahmen stiegen um 71,5 %. Es gab keine Veränderungen bei der Wirtschaftstätigkeit oder den Investitionen.“

Today we celebrated Peter Hegenann’s #NobelPrize for #optigenetics at @humboldtuni.bsky.social Magical and surreal. So much joy. I hurt my hands from clapping so much.

Der 7. Oktober darf als Tag der Erinnerung an die grauenhaften Verbrechen der Hamas-Terroristen niemals vergessen werden. Nichts, was danach geschah und wie man es bewertet, darf die Erinnerung an die Opfer dieses Tages relativieren oder das Gedenken an sie überschatten.

Putins Mann in Magdeburg, Tillschneider, der in Bayreuth immer noch lehren darf, bekennt sich seit Jahren offen zu seinem Patriotismus: Russland zuerst!

Heartfelt congrats to our neighbour Peter Hegemann! #nobel 🍾🍾🍾

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Prof. Dr. Peter Hegemann 🥂 Der Hertie-Senior-Professor für Neurowissenschaften der #HumboldtUniversität gewinnt den Medizin-#Nobelpreis 2026 für seine Entdeckungen im Bereich der Optogenetik! Wir gratulieren allen weiteren Preisträger*innen! 👏

Two of the 2026 #Medicine #NobelPrize winners, Peter Hegemann & Georg Nagel, made their prize‑winning discoveries during their time at Max Planck Institutes: our warmest congratulations! 🎉(and yes, we’re feeling just a tiny bit 'nobel' today, too!😉) @mpibiochem.bsky.social @mpibp.bsky.social

So excited especially for Peter Hegemann to get the Nobel Prize for his contributions to Optogenetics! ongratulations also to Karl Deisseroth and Georg Nagel to a well-deserved prize. Did I mention basic science at Unis especially is underfunded and made these discoveries back in the day possible?

How do cells stay strong yet adaptable? @gijsjekoenderink.bsky.social shows how cooperation between cytoskeletal filaments shapes cell mechanics: actin and vimentin jointly resist compression, plectin tunes viscoelasticity, and septins support cell shape and invasion.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.
