There is "Only the Sky Above" SPP 2330! Great talk by Helga Hengge, the first German woman to summit Everest, at our international conference. 🏔️ @spp2330.bsky.social, @dfg.de

Julia Frunzke opening the 2026 International SPP 2330 Symposium on New Concepts in Prokaryotic Virus-host Interactions. Looking forward to 3 exciting days of science! @dfg.de @fz-juelich.de @frunzkelab.bsky.social

www.nature.com/articles/s41... nice paper from Carl-Eric Wegner @hhu.de 🧪

Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel – awarded the 2026 medicine prize – discovered a remarkable protein, channelrhodopsin, in a single-celled alga. Hegemann wondered how Chlamydomonas, a single-celled alga, is able to swim towards a light source.
