At the 28th STS Meeting in Weimar Theresia Gutmann @thegutmann.bsky.social was honored with this award, which recognizes outstanding research by postdocs or junior PIs within the STS. Congratulations! @mpi-cbg.de #STS #CellCommSummit

Anthony A. Hyman will become EMBL’s next Director General.

He joins EMBL from @mpi-cbg.de in Dresden. He is also Professor of Molecular Biology @tudresden.bsky.social, and was a group leader at EMBL Heidelberg from 1993 to 1999.

It was an honor to present the laudation for the 2025 STS Honorary Medal Awardee, Hao Wu (@harvardmed.bsky.social @bostonchildrens.bsky.social), at the 28th Signal Transduction Meeting. Her groundbreaking work has transformed our understanding of innate immune signaling.

The Lab of Stephan Grill at MPI-CBG has finally made it to Bluesky and we also have a brand new homepage: grill-lab.org
Check it out.

Our PhD student Silja Zedlitz @hymanlab.bsky.social receives the #DGZ Master Thesis Award for her previous work!!! Looking forward to the meeting in Heidelberg and Silja's talk on "Minimal rhodamine probes for covalent protein labeling in live cells". Congrats to all awardees!

Lipid imaging on the cover of @nature.com! Great times for lipid cell biology indeed. And a fantastic recognition of all the hard work by the team, especially Juan M. Iglesias-Artola and Kristin Böhlig (who made the cover). Link to article: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The official website of the Nobel Prize - NobelPrize.org The Nobel Prize rewards science, humanism and peace efforts. This is one of the central concepts in the will of Alfred Nobel, and it also permeates the outreach activities that have been developed for...

1/ We’re delighted to hear that our Reviewing Editor, Shimon Sakaguchi, has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine today alongside colleagues Fred Ramsdell and Mary Brunkell: www.nobelprize.org

Thanks a lot and thanks for being such an important part of the journey 😊

Thanks Sam, looking forward to visiting you guys in Augsburg again!

Im französischen Fernsehen haben sie den CSU-Chef Markus Söder analysiert - als "Gastro-Populisten". Und manchmal hilft der Blick von außen, um eine PR-Strategie besser zu verstehen. Sehenswert!

Warm goodbye to Dresden's @mpipks.bsky.social, my scientific home for the past 4 years. It's been amazing to start my group here! Thanks to the Max Planck Society, group members and everyone at the institute! Looking forward to the new chapter in Barcelona @ub.edu

With painted cows and a perfect pasta sauce, ‘Ig Nobel’ winners claim glory Some of the world’s most imaginative scientific minds have been celebrated at the Ig Nobel awards, which recognize discoveries that make people “laugh, then think.”

Still can't believe this: WE WON THE IG NOBEL PHYSICS PRIZE www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Amazing!!! 🧪 The 2025 Ig Nobel prize goes to scientists from the @mpipks.bsky.social for discovering a bullet proof version to make the classic pasta alla cacio e pepe! Including a deep understanding of the pasta sauce in terms of phase separation physics 😃
Congrats @gbart.bsky.social et al!

Congratulations to the Fritz Lipmann Lecturer Michael Rosen (Dallas) by the GBM president Harald Kolmar.

GBM Compact Focus on Condensate Biology is opened by Edward Lemke. Looking forward to a great meeting!

Oh man, I am so excited and happy to have been given this huge opportunity by the @erc.europa.eu It is by no exaggeration - a dream come true.

🥳 Congratulations to our postdoc, Dr. Anna Czarkwiani @aniaczark.bsky.social, on receiving the ERC Starting Grant @erc.europa.eu!

With €2 million in funding, Anna will explore the biology of gravisensation and uncover insights into related disorders. 🧠

Thanks André, I’ll send you a draft of the experimental work soon 😊

A C. elegans model for a human disease

This was my first paper with the new @elife.bsky.social model. Have to say, while I don't agree with all the reviewers' comments the new process is awesome. We can directly reply to their concerns and it'll be obvious what changed between revisions when we upload the revised version :) 4/4

We find that in a continuous model this arises through either a potential barrier (e.g. through electrostatics) or a trough in mobility, both of which have been experimentally observed! Stay tuned for our experimental work to link theory and experiments :) 3/4

Resistance arises across phase boundaries if the chemical potentials are not required to be continuous. This slows droplet growth and (as shown previously by @brangwynnelab.bsky.social and Jun Zhang) exchange kinetics. 2/4

Paper alert!🧪
We derive a theory that underpins interface resistance with a physical foundation and look at how it changes droplet growth and recovery kinetics! Awesome collab with @bosste.bsky.social Tyler Harmon @hymanlab.bsky.social @m-pol.bsky.social and Frank Jülicher @mpipks.bsky.social 1/4

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

What started with many quail eggs and put me on stage in a chicken suit has now resulted in a preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Microsurgery with human eye-lashes, laser ablations, great analysis and insightful theory from @neipel.bsky.social told us more about avian L/R symmetry breaking.
