Boris Pistorius spricht am Bebelplatz in Berlin – dem Ort der Bücherverbrennung durch die Nazis 1933 – zu einer spontanen Protestkundgebung der SPD Bundestagsfraktion. Der Anlass: Am 6. Oktober 2026 wurden zwei Rechtsextreme an die Spitze des Landtags Sachsen-Anhalt gewählt.

We love #zebrafish at the @unicologne.bsky.social.

What a fantastic day at the @crtd-tud.bsky.social! So much exciting science going on. Thank you for your hospitality and invitation Stephen Enos. I had a blast!

We are searching for a research technician to join our lab for a year 🔬🧬🐟 Please see the ad below and spread the word!! #ZebrafishRock

Our mission is to amplify early-career voices, foster collaborations, and help create a research environment that is supportive and welcoming to all. We host symposia and webinars aimed at career guidance, networking, and sharing trainee research. We’re here to help you grow and thrive! 🐠🎊

📣Hello! We are the Young Researcher Committee (YoRC) of EZS/IZFS! 🧬🐟 We’re an international community of graduate students, postdocs, and early-career scientists passionate about connection, collaboration, and opportunity in zebrafish research.

I am delighted, humbled, proud, and grateful to let you know that I became a professor for life today. I am very aware of the privilege that this position now brings to my life. I will do my best to pay forward the kindness and support of the people who got me here.

Thank you for featuring @uniköln uni-koeln.de/universitaet...

With deep sadness, we share that Prof. Jochen Guck, Director at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light passed away on October 3. His visionary work bridged physics and medicine. We have lost a brilliant scientist and dear friend. mpl.mpg.de/news/article... @fau.de 📸 Stephan Spangenberg

New paper from the lab is out in Cell Reports: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Paper accepted 🤩. Stay tuned for news on #fibroblasts in #SCI and #regeneration.

Happy to share that I have been appointed as an Associate Professor of Regenerative Biology at the University of Cologne. Looking forward to continue our spinal cord regeneration research at the Institute of Zoology, as well as building bridges with the @mpi-scienceoflight.bsky.social in Erlangen.

After some silence, we will soon be announcing exciting developments, including openings at the postdoctoral and Ph.D. levels. Stay tuned!

The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard.
