Wir müssen als DAAD unsere Arbeit in Russland einstellen, nachdem das russische Justizministerium uns am 10.2. zur „unerwünschten Organisation“ erklärte. Das DAAD-Büro in Moskau sowie das vom DAAD verantwortete „Deutsche Wissenschafts- und Innovationshaus“ (DWIH) Moskau werden geschlossen.

Freut euch aufs neue BIOspektrum!

The IL17REL gene encodes a decoy receptor of IL-17 family cytokines to control gut inflammation Nature Immunology - Qian and colleagues show that IL-17REL functions as a decoy receptor to suppress the effects of IL-17 family cytokines and reduce intestinal inflammation.

Just saw this (probably again) in @science.org "In Other Journals": Qian et al. show that IL17REL encodes a decoy receptor for IL-17 family cytokines that suppresses intestinal inflammation, and IBD-associated variants produce nonfunctional proteins @natimmunol.nature.com doi.org/10.1038/s415... 🧪

Wie der gemeinsame Verteidigungsmechanismus zweier Bakterien funktioniert haben das Team von Pierre Stallforth, Ute Hellmich @hellmichgroup.bsky.social und Markus Lakemeyer von @leibniz-hki.de herausgefunden.

It seems that NCBI GenBank is currently not active beyond the repository itself and has also been unresponsive to requests for a while already.

Do you think this may be a transient inconvenience or a sign that we should explore alternatives such as ENA at EMBL-EBI?

We are hiring!

Attention! Our deadline for early bird registration and abstract submission ends tomorrow, January 31! Hurry up to submit! We look forward to seeing you all in #Mosbach in March! @nadlerlab.bsky.social

Color photograph of Joan Steitz (Joan Argetsinger Steitz), the distinguished American molecular biologist and biochemist renowned for her groundbreaking discoveries in RNA biology, including the identification of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) essential to RNA splicing. She is pictured in a close-up portrait within a laboratory or research setting, smiling warmly and directly at the camera with an engaging, approachable expression that conveys enthusiasm and expertise. Steitz has gray hair pulled back, striking blue eyes, and is wearing large, elaborate dangling earrings adorned with purple gemstones and metallic accents. She is dressed in a rich purple blouse. The softly blurred background includes scientific elements such as lab benches, equipment, monitors, charts, and partial signage, evoking the environment of her long career at Yale University where she served as Sterling Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry. #JoanSteitz #MolecularBiology #WomenInScience #Biochemistry #RNA

Biochemist/molecular biologist Joan Steitz was born #OTD in 1941.

She (& team) figured out how our cells read/use genetic instructions to make proteins. A key person who helped crack the code on RNA—the molecule that acts like a messenger between DNA & and the proteins our bodies need. #WomenInSTEM

Frontiers | Women in Infectious Agents and Disease: 2025 Please note that to be considered for this collection, the first author or at least one corresponding author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman...

💡 Great concept by @frontiersin.bsky.social:
An annual series by "Women in Infectious Agents and Disease". You can still apply to have your research featured in the 2025 edition!
👩‍🔬 What a smart way to increase the visibility and impact of #ScienceMadeByWomen! 💜

CZS STEM Impact School Ein Fort- und Weiterbildungsprogramm für Nachwuchsforschende aus den MINT-Disziplinen „Die Impact School war eine tolle Erfahrung, die gezeigt hat, welchen Unterschied gute Wissenschaftskommunikation machen kann. Ich habe viele praktische Impulse mitgenommen, um meine eigenen Projekte gezielter umzusetzen. Besonders der Austausch mit den anderen Wissenschaftler*innen war unglaublich wertvoll und hat mir Mut gemacht, eigene Ideen wirklich anzugehen.“ Elisabeth Kirschbaum Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Angewandte Trainingswissenschaft in Leipzig Bis zum 31. Januar 2026 anmelden!

Noch bis zum 31. Januar zur Impact School bewerben! In der Fortbildung können MINT-Forschende lernen, wie sie ihre Forschung wirksam und qualitätsorientiert kommunizieren.

A formal, black-and-white portrait photograph of Marjory Stephenson, a British biochemist and one of the first two female Fellows of the Royal Society, taken in April 1945. The image shows Stephenson seated and turned slightly to the viewer's left, looking directly at the camera. She wears dark, round-rimmed glasses, a black dress, and a strand of pearls. Her hair is styled back off her face. The portrait uses soft lighting and a blurred background, common to the photographic style of the time. The photo was taken by Walter Stoneman for the National Portrait Gallery.

Marjory Stephenson was born #OTD in 1885

+ Helped establish modern microbial biochemistry
+ Wrote foundational textbook 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘮 (1930), shaping the discipline for decades
+ Co-founded, Society for General Microbiology
+ 1 of the first 2 women Fellows, Royal Society, 1945
