On #InternationalWomensDay, we remember Cécile Vogt, co-founder of our original institute, and her daughters Marthe and Marguerite Vogt - all pioneering scientists in their fields.
Their impact continues to shape modern science today.

Had a great day at Human Technopole - lots of stimulating discussions with students and faculty and also, this should be a new standard, Aperol spritz after the seminar! @humantechnopole.bsky.social

explorers at the farthest reaches of our knowledge 🤩 neuronal ribosomes, and their mysterious rRNA expansion segments
immense story from the dream team @andschwarz.bsky.social & @muellermara.bsky.social in the @erin-schuman.bsky.social lab at @mpibrain.bsky.social

#MolBio 🧪
Ribosomes in pairs: A survival strategy inside stressed cells.
When nutrients drop or temperatures shift, cells switch to survival mode. New work by @erin-schuman.bsky.social & colleagues shows that inactive ribosomes pair up via a ribosomal RNA link @andschwarz.bsky.social @muellermara.bsky.social
Thanks for the wonderful talk Matt!

Your brain doesn’t just passively track time ⏳ - it structures it.
In @Science.org we show that activity in 🧠 memory circuits (LEC) drifts constantly, but makes sharp jumps at key moments, segmenting life into meaningful events. (1/2)
